Copy External Payment Parameters

Explanation

This activity is used to copy external payment parameters of a payment method to another payment method. The function copies the general matching parameters, message codes with its settings and the connected reason codes, matching identifiers, segmentation criteria and tolerances for write-off. You can copy the parameters to another payment method only if the payment format is the same. If you want to copy the parameters to another company, the company specific data, such as account, series ID etc...must also exists in the other company. The company identifiers will not be copied since these parameters are always available for all payment methods of the same payment format.
