Background
Toshiba Financial Services (TFS) are in the process of migrating their
Oracle applications to an IBM iSeries. One of the functions of the existing system is the Payment management
system. This allows dealers to dial up (TFS) and to manage current payments
for goods and services supplied. The payment management system also allows
TFS employees to perform the same functions locally on behalf of any dealer.
The implementation of the new Payment Management system was critical for
the migration project to proceed on schedule.
The solution
KDP Software and Toshiba have previously had a successful relationship
developing web based applications when KDP developed a Spares Order Processing system for Toshiba Information Systems Consumer Products Division.
Using the infrastructure already developed for the Spares Order Processing system KDP proposed writing the new Payment Management system to run on
IBM's WebSphere Application Server. The system is written in Java, using
servlet and JSP technology. The Payment Management database runs on an
IBM iSeries server and completely replaces the original Oracle database.
The Payment Management system is now currently in user acceptance testing.
System Functionality
The payment manager allows a dealer to first display a cash flow statement
which lists all current payments by payment date. This shows not only payments
to be made but the total amount of all payments that are currently in dispute.
The dealers credit limit is also shown.
From the cash flow a dealer can then display their payment summary. This
list all the payments by period end with totals for the payment dates.
At this point a dealer can move payments. From the payment summary a dealer
can then display the payment details for the period end. At the payment
details level the dealer can also move payments to other payment dates.
The dealer can then drill further down from the payment details to list
all invoices that constitute a payment. From there the dealer can then
drill down to the individual invoice details.
The system functions exactly the same way whether used on an Intranet from
within Toshiba Financial services or used by a dealer over the Internet.
