Available Algorithms

PYDIST-PPRTY- This payment distribution algorithm distributes a payment amongst the account's service agreements based on each service agreement's SA type's Payment Priority. If service agreements have the same Payment Priority, debt is relieved based on the age of the arrears. If the Payment Priority and the Debt age are the same for more than one service agreement, the payment first pays off one service agreement before the others are reduced.

•	CI_CR-PAY-BF - This distribution rule create payment algorithm creates a single payment for an SA.

•	CI_TNDRAC-DF - This algorithm determines the Tender Account ID from the distribution detail characteristic value. It expects the value to represent an SA characteristic and it returns the SA's account as the Tender Account ID.

•	DSOV SA-ID - Distribute payment to SA ID in match value.
