File Summary (Online Payment Control Only) Note: Online Payment Control is for customers who want to create Integrated Payments files outside of ScotiaConnect and upload them into ScotiaConnect for approval and submission. Online Payment History is when a file is created outside of ScotiaConnect and uploaded into ScotiaConnect to keep a history of the details. To view the status of files uploaded for Online Payment Control select File Summary from the Integrated Payments menu. Please note that payments that are entered manually in ScotiaConnect via From Templates or One Time cannot be located using the File Summary menu. This is only for payments that are uploaded via your integrated payments files. From the menu enter the criteria to search for your uploaded payment files. You can specify a service group, file id and/or date range. Once you have entered the information click on the search button. You will be shown a list of all files that meet your search criteria. To view the details of any file, simply click on the File Id number. All payments within the selected file will be grouped together into Batch Ids. At the bottom right of this screen you will find a drop down menu containing all the payment actions. Payment Actions Approve Approve all pending payments within the file/batch.
