Request to provide status update events for PaymentInstrument table

EDSC need different statuses for PaymentInstrument records and we cannot add custom statuses into OOTB codetable. To address this we make up with our derived status in BDMPaymentInstrument table. Whenever a record is inserted or status is modified on PaymentInstrument table the BDMPaymentInstrument derived status should be updated. To address this, please provide events to register whenever a PaymentInstrument is created and whenever a status is created/updated. We could try to leverage event broadcast option but this could not be a correct way as this is not broadcast events to external systems.

    Hi Benoit,

    We are pleased to inform you that your enhancement request has been delivered in the new release of Merative Social Program Management, version 8.1.0.0 on 19 June 2023.

    Financials processing has been enhanced to provide post insert and post modify hook points for the PaymentInstrument entity.

    This feature enables the compliant implementation of custom processing, such as the ability to store additional payment instrument statuses required for external payment processing.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with us. We are now closing this request as delivered.

    Regards,

    Hi Benoit,

    We have reviewed your enhancement suggestion. Based on the information provided and discussions with Lab Services staff, our understanding of your request is as follows:

    - You are requesting an enhancement to provide a post processing hook point in the ProcessILIGroup and RollupPmtInstruction specialised readmulti classes, together with a modify event for Payment Instrument entity updates in order to support customizations related to external payment processing.

    The theme is aligned with our current strategy for our product to continue to provide extension points that enable compliant customization of financials processing and we have accepted your suggestion as a consideration for a future release.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas with us. We are committed to involving our users in building our product roadmap and appreciate your suggestions.

    Thank you,

    Sheryl Brenton, SPM Product Management Team

    • Provide a post processing hook in ProcessILIGroup class file. Once a Payment Instrument processing done (either changed to processed, suspended) then invoke custom hook to perform post processing for that payment instrument.

    • Provide Payment Instrument Modify Event. Today in OOTB payment instrument events exist for Insert, Cancel, Regenerate but not for Modify. When a payment instrument is modified for any reason please raise an event such that clients can perform custom processing.

    Hi Benoit,

    We would like to request some further information to help us evaluate this enhancement request.

    In product, the following two event types are available under the PaymentInstrument event class:
    - InsertPaymentIssued
    - ModifyPaymentIssued

    You can also configure new process enactments for these events that can be used to initiate workflow processes for any custom processing you might then want to execute when the events are raised.
    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spm/8.0.1?topic=reference-process-enactment

    Would these existing events and related functionality be sufficient to meet your requirements?

    If not could you explain why?

    Please provide the requested information within 30 days so we may proceed with our evaluation. If we do not hear from you within that timeframe, we will have to close the request due to insufficient information.

    Thank you,
    Sheryl Brenton, SPM Product Management team
