Supplier Payment Methods in Oracle

In Oracle, whenever a  supplier or supplier site is Created in oracle , Oracle will automatically create a payee in the system and depending on the data provided a payment method.

Each payee will define the different attributes which are related to all the aspects of payments for that supplier or supplier site.

For each supplier or supplier site the business might want to define the payment methods i.e. mechanism in which the payment will be made, this might the EFT,WIRE,CHECK etc.

When creating a supplier the API will automatically create the payee and payment method for the supplier will be created, provided a payment method is passed to the API . If we pass NULL to the API in the payment method then no payment method will be created.

Even if the payment method is created in the system but if the PRIMARY_FLAG = 'N' then this payment method will not be visible in the front end.
