This component determines the relevant business objects for the further processing of payment items. These business objects contain information that is necessary to transfer money from one financial institution to another. During route processing, the system analyzes each payment item to evaluate how it should be processed and links various business objects to each payment item by using flexible rule sets.

First, the system analyzes whether a payment is internal (the beneficiary is a customer of the financial institution processing the payment) or external (the beneficiary is not a customer of the financial institution processing the payment).

The system analyzes internal payments to evaluate whether there is a special agreement with the beneficiary, such as the instruction to collect certain payments instead of posting every single payment item to an account. If a financial institution uses different account management applications for different lines of business, the system locates the relevant account management application.

The system analyzes external payments to evaluate the preferred outgoing channel or payment method. These channels or methods can be used to forward payments to local or international clearing systems or the appropriate financial institutions.

In Routing Control, the following business objects are relevant:

Integration

Routing Control receives payment items that have been enriched and checked in the enrichment and validation process of Payment Processing. It delivers these payment items to Clearing Processing with a reference to a specific route, customer agreement (if present), clearing agreement, and value date agreement. These references are logical paths that provide details about how the system processes the payment items in the Clearing Processing component.

For more information about the connected process and components, see:

Routing Control is also connected to the Exception Control component to handle errors occurring during route processing. For more information, see Exception Control (FS-PE-EH).
