"Repeat Media Output" doesn't send the Payment File to Server Location

Hi there

When you map the output file directory in the form Payment Methods per Institute, you will notice two other fields a little to the right called “Server Output File Directory” and “Server Output File Directory History”.  

Have you tried to use this fields instead?

It is correct, that there is no way to send the file to Server Location, if “Repeat Media Output” is used (either for supplier or from employee payments). The server location setup mentioned above only works when the file is initially created. 

The sending to the server location requires the “Run in Background” functionality which is not available when repeating media output. 

A customer case raised for this same issue: G2251657. This led to the customer needing to always cancel the payment orders and re-create a new payment proposal in order to enforce payment file security. 

I’ve raised an idea for this in the Community because it’s been raised with me as an issue

BACS Payment method normally creates the output file in txt format in user’s local machine. Therefore, even when you execute repeat media output no new application message will be created and server location used previously will be used.

As suggested users will have to delete the payment order and re-create a new payment proposal.
