# Set Up Outbound Payments

Complete these high-level steps to configure outbound payments for your agency.

Before you begin, complete the steps in [Outbound Payments Prerequisites](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.aps_outbound_payments_prerequisites.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Enable settings, turn on related features, and assign permissions before you configure outbound payments.").

1. Create record-triggered flows that call the Generate Payment Instructions invocable action for claims, payment requests, and benefit disbursements.
    
    For detailed steps, see [Create Flows to Generate Payment Instructions](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.aps_outbound_payments_flows.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create a record-triggered flow that generates payment instructions when a claim, payment request, or benefit disbursement meets your criteria.").
2. Configure an integration between Salesforce and your Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to send payment instructions and receive completed transaction details.
    
    Your integration must handle two data flows:
    
    - Send payment instruction records from Salesforce to your ERP system for processing.
    - Return the ERP's external payment ID to Salesforce and store it in the payment instruction record's `Instruction Identifier` field.
    
    One approach is to use a MuleSoft Anypoint Connector. Work with your integration team to determine the approach that best fits your agency's architecture.
3. After your ERP completes a disbursement, manually create a Payment record and a Payment Instruction Payment record in Salesforce to reconcile the transaction against the original payment instruction.
