Your company wants to pay its employees from company bank account A and their third parties from company bank account B. What is the recommended…

The recommended approach in Oracle Payroll Cloud is to use a single Organization Payment Method (OPM) for a specific payment type, such as Electronic Funds Transfer. Within this OPM, you can define multiple payment sources, where each source is linked to a different company bank account (e.g., Source A for Bank A, Source B for Bank B). The system then uses Payment Method Rules to determine which payment source to use for a given payment. You can configure a rule based on the payee type, directing all employee payments to use Source A and all third-party payments to use Source B. This standard configuration ensures payments are drawn from the correct accounts automatically.

A. A formula represents a customization. Standard configuration using payment method rules is the intended and more maintainable solution for this common requirement.

B. Personal payment methods define the payee's (employee's) bank account for receiving funds, not the organization's source bank account for sending funds.

D. Running the prepayments process separately does not configure which source bank account is used. The bank account selection is determined by the OPM rules, not the process execution parameters.

Section: How Payment Sources Are Determined for Payments.

This section states

"The PrePayments process uses payment rules to determine the appropriate payment source to use for a payment. For example

you can define a payment rule that specifies one payment source for employee payments and another for third-party payments." This directly supports the methodology described in option C.

This document details the setup process: "Create payment sources for each bank account from which you make payments... If you define multiple payment sources

you must define payment rules to determine the appropriate payment source to use for a payment." This confirms that multiple sources are configured under an OPM and governed by rules.
