Creates a new channel for transaction routing and control.<br>

A channel is a client‑defined code that identifies the source of a payment or cash‑management operation. It controls how back‑business‑date transactions are handled and determines whether a transaction can bypass cutoff rules, since only active channels in the allowed set can override the cutoff. Channels also enable routing based on the transaction’s source.

This endpoint generates the following events:

• Channel created, updated, or deleted
