Overview
Remittance Processing
System - RPS - is designed to automate
as much as possible the handling and accounting of
payments and remittances.
The remittance documents
normally include a stub
and a check..
A stub is that portion of a bill that is (detached and)
returned along with the payment. A stub would contain
information such as customers name, address, due
amount and account
number. For a
telephone company the account number usually is the
telephone number. For an insurance company, the policy
number. For a mortgage company, the loan number, etc.
To the accounting
department the most relevant information for RPS to
capture for each account is the account number, due amount
from the stub and paid amount from the check. RPS is then
to compare the paid amount against the due amount and
report payments as full
pay or odd
pay. For
odd payments - overpayments or underpayments- the variance
amount is included in the report. The report is output to
a printer, a magnetic medium or via transmission to the
accounting departments host computer.
