FTM IP Process Steps Have User Exit Enabling "Routing Ticket" on Per Message Basis

Background

The current FTM Immediate Payments products of TCH, SCT and HVP allow a bank to customize the Services called at each workflow step (e.g. PreCheck, PreSubmit, PostAccept, etc).  The limitation is the customization is limited to a payment subtype - the workflow cannot be tailored based upon details in the payment.  Today's limitation forces extra logic to be placed in the "IP Actions" which determine if the action should be processed on a specific payment - this complicates the ESQL code and makes production monitoring and troubleshooting more skilled and labor intensive.

Idea

Instead only having static predefined Service calls on a payment type basis, have each workflow step (e.g. PreCheck, PreSubmit, PostAccept, etc) support a user exit which lets the bank inspect the payment and return the Service calls that should be used on that step for that individual payment.

The support of a user exit will allow for more dynamic workflow processing logic that is traceable and visible while also encapsulating and simplifying programming logic.
