Resolution

General Revenues > Payment Processing > Miscellaneous Cash Payments Import

  1. Click Define

  2. Select At a scheduled time from the Execute this report dropdown under the Scheduling heading

  3. Define the remaining import parameters as desired. Note the Import path, as this precise path and import filename will be called each time the job runs.

  4. Click Accept

  5. In the Munis Scheduler Window, navigate to the Recur, Notify, and Output windows, respectively, and define parameters as desired.

    1. Munis Scheduler Recurrence - Note that the import file must be replaced in the import path before each job recurrence. If the file remains the same for subsequent jobs, duplicate payment batches will be created.

    2. Munis Scheduler Notifications - Note that If job completes w/ error is a recommended Event type for notifications. The job will successfully complete assuming that each import file is formatted correctly. Otherwise the job completes with error.

    3. Output - define report output parameters as desired.

  6. Click OK in the Munis Scheduler window

  7. Click OK in the Confirm Scheduled Job window

At this point, the job is scheduled. Bear in mind that the Import path in this recurring scheduled define cannot be updated. This means that each time the import file is manually updated by a user in the folder which the import path points to, each new file will have to be renamed to match exactly the name of the original file. The job can be deleted from System Administration > Scheduler Administration > Scheduler Queue, and then a new define can be scheduled via Miscellaneous Cash Payments Import, if changes to the recurring job are needed.
