Pay out earnings and entitlements to sellers, contractors or claimants
Done means: Money owed to many individual recipients, who are not suppliers sending bills, reaches each of them on the schedule they were promised, to a destination that was verified, in a currency they can use, with the fees, the exchange rate and the reason for any hold visible to the recipient.
The payouts job: a marketplace paying its sellers, a platform paying contractors or creators, an insurer or a service paying claimants, an agent being paid for what it sold. What separates it from fin.pay-supplier-bills is not whose money it is, which varies, but what drives the payment and who receives it: a supplier bill is one approved invoice with terms on it, while a payout is an earning, a balance or an entitlement owed to one of many recipients who are usually not registered suppliers. That is why onboarding, identity checks and destination verification are part of doing this job well and are not part of the other one. It is not fin.collect-customer-payment, which is the money coming in. Machine-to-machine rails belong here when an agent or an endpoint is the party being paid.
