Remittance Configuration - Data Fields

A Data Field acts as a placeholder for data in the payment database. Each Data Field is associated with a data column in a particular table within the database. Data fields may be placed on Forms (such as a Receipt Form or an Endorsement Form.)

A Data Field can be either Active or Inactive.  A Data Field cannot be deleted. If a Data Field is no longer needed, make the Data Field Inactive.

There are two main categories of Data Fields within the iNovah database:

System Fields: these fields have been created by iNovah developers and engineers and are critical to the successful operation of iNovah. As such, they are unable to be edited or deleted by IT personal. Fields which fall under this category reside in the following data tables owned by the system. Tables not editable include:

·        X_ACHFileDetail

·        X_AdjustmentTransaction

·        X_BankDeposit

·        X_BankDepositDetail

·        X_Payment

·        X_PaymentAllocation

·        X_PaymentBatch

·        X_PaymentBatchAction

·        X_PaymentBatchStatus

·        X_PaymentStatus

·        X_Tender

·        X_TenderACH

·        X_TenderACHStatus

·        X_TenderCardInfo

·        X_Transaction

Custom Fields: These fields are able to be created by IT personnel to assist in the collection and storing of payment related information. As such, they may be added and edited but not deleted. They are tied to payment transactions so deleting these fields would interfere with the accounting, reporting, and storage procedures of iNovah. All payment collection data fields created reside in the X_PaymentCustom table. Data fields created by IT personnel will appear in the Payment Form Editor along with system fields which are defined for payment transactions. When developing and choosing which fields to use it is always best to first use system data fields before creating a custom field.
