Overview

The Rator system offers a fully integrated solution towards PBS (now Nets) which is the primary payment handling company in Denmark. Integration is done through the PBS Direct Debit setup which consists of several engines that interface to and interact with PBS in various ways.

Interacting with PBS requires signing a subscription agreement on use of PBS Direct Debit.

Detail lines per Invoice

The project is made to generate only one detail line.
The default text is: "Se vedlagte faktura", but this can be customized. This is done via the template framework and in the template you can use labels.
For customizing you need this:

  • A mail template with the KEY=PBS_XML_HEADER_DESC_TPL

You can use methods from INVOICE, ACCOUNT, BILLINGGROUP objects in the template. h2. The Process _Prerequisites_ For invoices to be handled, the following must apply: *

Engines

PBS Package Engine

The purpose of this engine is to generate and pack files which can be delivered to PBS. This is done in the following steps:

  1. Retrieves a list of invoices which are ready for processing.
  2. Creates a new record in the PBS_DELIVERY table.
  3. Generates an XML file and performs some validation of syntax and content.
  4. Looks up/generates PDF files (if found in DOC_ARCHIVE, this is used - otherwise a new one is created and saved there).
  5. Creates a zip file containing the PDF files.
  6. Cleans up temporary xml/pdf files created during the process.
  7. Moves the created files to the outgoing directory.

This engine/class extends EngineCore and requires 3 arguments:

  1. EngineName
  2. Engine instance number
  3. Maximum number of invoices per file.

Steps

  1. Establishes the FTP connection.
  2. Downloads all files from the relevant download directory on the remote SFTP server.
  3. Places files in the local incoming directory.
  4. Uploads all files found in the local outgoing directory to the upload directory on the remote server (if an error occurs, the file will be moved to the the local error directory).
  5. Collects any downloaded files from the incoming directory and moves them to the "incoming_pbs_files"

PBS File Handler Engine

This engine processes the M602 and 0603 files received from PBS. "M602" is the name given to the file that contains (invoice) payments received from debtors (end users).

The "0603" files contain subscribe/unsubscribe information regarding payment agreements. The engine assumes that the M602 file can contain two different types of payments, "automatic" and "indbetalingskort" (printed payment order).

Once the files are processed, their data is saved in OCR_LINE, OCR_HEADER (for M602 files), and PBS_0603_RESULT for 0603 files, respectively.

The most interesting values are probably the received_amount (which is mapped to total_amount on the ocr_line record) and payment_reference (which is the invoice_number).

The payment_reference should be the invoice_number of the corresponding (outstanding) invoice.

Steps

  1. Locates files in incoming directory.
  2. Handles all found files (in case of error -> file are moved to error directory)
    • Info from M602 specific files/lines end up as records in DB table: OCR_LINE with status new.
    • Info from 0603 specific files/lines end up as records in DB table: PBS_0603_RESULT.
    • Info from files ending with "TAB" are validation files and are processed for checking e.g. whether PBS processed the same number of invoices as generated by Rator.
  3. After successful processing, the files are moved to the processed-directory.
  4. Last step is to process the pending reocrds in PBS_0603_RESULT by calling an updatePBSAgreements method.

In case of errors/problems, the engine will attempt to generate an alert email to configured recipients (ENGINE.GLOBAL_ALERT_GROUP_NAME)

The engine also process the BM5 files received from PBS. These files are status files regarding the files delivered files to PBS.&nbsp;&nbsp;In case the status is Error an alert with the content of the file will be sent to to&nbsp;configured recipients   In case the status is Error an alert with the content of the file will be sent to to configured recipients (ENGINE.GLOBAL_ALERT_GROUP_NAME)&nbsp;, and the file will be moved to the processed directory. _Configuration_ {noformat}

PBS Invoice Settle Engine

Once all OCR_LINE/PBS_0603_RESULT records have been saved by the PBS File Handler Engine, this engine will attempt attempts to match the records with the corresponding invoices and try tries to settle them. This engine will just make the initial invoice payment for the full amount. If the received amount is more than the invoice amount (which it can be, especially if the payment came via an indbetalingskort), then we must handle this via the Payment Reallocation Engine. _Steps_ # Looks up all records in OCR_LINE with status new or error. # Loops list of found records and tries to process these as described above. _Configuration_ {noformat} them. The invoice is defined by the invoice number which is taken from the payment reference of OCR line.

The engine just makes the initial invoice payment for the full amount.
 
If the received amount is higher than the invoice amount (which it can be, especially if the payment came via an "indbetalingskort"), then we must handle this via the Payment Reallocation Engine.

If the payment reference is not provided, then open running invoice will be applied for post-paid payments and captured manual account payment will be created for pre-paid payments. This feature is optional and could be switched on by adding the parameter 'PBS.DIRECT_DEBIT.FIND_INVOICE_FOR_UNDEFINED_PAYMENT_REFERENCE':

Transferring Files to PBS

The PBS File Transfer Engine can actually move the output files to PBS, but often you need to be in control of this process and monitor it. Then you can use a program called: WINSCP.

  1. Once all the files have been created, open WINSCP and connect to PBS. When prompted for a pass phrase enter the provided password.
    Note: It is VERY important when connecting to the PBS FTP server that the "resume" setting is set to "disabled".
    This is set under the "Endurance" settings for WINSCP which is found in Preferences.
  2. Transfer all zip files created to the directory that has opened.
    *DO NOT under any cirumstances try to open any files on the PBS side - if you do, you will automatically delete them.
    Once you have transferred the files you will not be able to see them on the PBS side - this is normal.*
  3. Once all files have been transferred, you may need to send a mail to PBS with the names of the transferred files.
    Move the safe copy of the files to a new directory under a main delivered folder - name it DELIVERED_<current date>
  4. You're done
