6.1.4 Payment Cloning
This topic describes the Repeat feature, available on the Outgoing Payments summary screen, which enables users to create a duplicate of an existing payment.
This is to make it convenient for the end user to initiate the same payment again, on a different date. The cloning does not intend to stop the user from changing any of the data. Therefore it is just another Ad hoc Payment transaction, and the user will be able to change any fields he wants to.
For a Self-Transfer that was initiated from OBDX and visible in Outgoing Payments, clicking on the Clone button will open up the Make Payment – New PayeeWithin Bank Payment page. This is because, from the bank’s perspective both Self Transfer and Within Bank Transfer are payments between accounts within the bank.
The payments screen in Outgoing Payments are a combination of all payments posted to the back end payments processor. The payments could have originated from other channels too, or directly from the payments processor itself. And therefore to repeat/copy the same payment at a later time, OBDX makes use of the Ad hoc Payments transaction since the payee information may not be present within OBDX as a payee.
