• During formatting, the PDP attempts to combine multiple payments to the same payee into a single check.
• Payments are eligible to be combined if the payment is combinable and if these field values are identical for each payment:
o Payment Type
o Payee ID
o Payee Name
o Payee Address (Line 1)
• Payments marked for special handling, attachments, or immediate printing are not eligible to be combined.
• If payments are determined to be combinable based on the above criteria, the PDP combines as many payments as possible into a single check. A parameter (MAX_NOTE_LINES) controls the maximum number of note lines that the PDP attempts to put on a single check. If adding a payment to a combined check would exceed the maximum number of lines, then the PDP creates a new check for this payment.
• The KFS-PURAP module includes logic to bundle together payment requests and credit memos under certain circumstances. This logic is outside of PDP and occurs within the PURAP module itself.
