Setting up Standing Orders

To set up Standing Orders, you must:

■    Configure iMIS batch control for Standing Orders.

■    Edit your staff site sitemap to display the Standing Order navigation items.

■    Configure the Standing Orders pages.

Note: To use iMIS Standing Orders, the ASISOAHost15 service must be running on the appserver.

Note: The steps below are based on the default Standing Order configuration shipped with iMIS. If your organization has tailored this feature, your view of the product may not match the documentation.

To configure batch control for Standing Orders

To use iMIS Standing Orders, you must set up your AR/Cash batch control (see AR/Cash Batch Control window) to enable either Auto Sequential Batch Numbers or Auto Date Batch Numbers, if one of these options is not already selected.

After you match the Standing Order payments you receive from the bank to the payments you expected to receive, an iMIS gift is created and automatically placed in system-generated Internet batches that are created based on the date the match was made. All of the transactions from a single day are placed in a batch with the same date. If today's Internet batch is closed, and a new Standing Order transaction takes place, a new batch is created with today's date.

1.  From either Content Management or Tools, select Site designer > Manage sitemaps.
