  • 1.  API to create and query a payment agreement

    Posted Dec 09, 2022 15:21
    I am enabling a service to create, update, modify, delete and query a payment agreement, but I can't find an API from the list in the TMF API Table that I need to conform to that nomenclature and model.
    Has anyone already worked with that and how did you solve it or what API did you work with?

    Hi Francisco

    Please clarify what you mean by "payment agreement", with business example. I can conceive the following possibilities:
    • Payment plan at account level - allowing a customer in collection/dunning to pay their debts. This is part of PartyAccount and its sub-classes, and is called PaymentPlan. You would manipulate this by querying or updating the parent PartyAccount
    • Instalment plan at product level - allowing a customer to pay a large one-time charge by installments. This is not covered in TMF Open API (and I don't think it's in the SID either)
    Hope it helps
