Setting Up Batch Approval Routing

Starting with Payment Automation 2.0, all payments submitted for processing in batches on the Bulk Payments page require approval. A payment batch is sent for processing only after it is approved. By using batch approval routing, you can help prevent the submission of undesired payments.

Batch Approval Routing:

For more information, see Approving Payment Batches.

To set up batch approval routing:

Note:

For more information, see Approving Payment Batches.

  1. Go to SuiteBanking > Payment Automation > Dashboard.

  2. On the left pane, expand the Set Up section, and click Approval Routing.

  3. Click Setup.

  4. On the Setup page, set values for the following fields:

    • Approval Type – choose one of the following options to indicate how approval routing should be triggered:

      • Bill Payment – payment amount limit for each bill in a batch.

      • Vendor Payment – payment amount limit for each vendor in a batch.

      • Batch Payment – total payment amount limit of a batch payment.

      The approval type is the basis for determining the value in the Amount for Approval field on the Bill Payment Batch page.

    • Payment Limit – enter the maximum amount for a bill payment, vendor payment, or batch payment that can be processed without approval. If the payment exceeds this amount, it is automatically routed for approval.

    • Level – set the approval level for each payment approver. Start with the level 1 approver. Note: You can select multiple approvers for one level, but only one approver is required to approve. After an employee is selected as an approver for a level, you cannot select the same employee as an approver for another level higher than the previous one.

    • Payment Approver – select the payment approver for each approval level. The selected approver will receive email notification whenever there is a payment batch that requires their approval.

    • Payment Approval Limit – Enter the maximum amount that a payment approver can approve for a bill payment, vendor payment, or batch payment. If you leave this field blank, the approver can approve any amount. When you set up an approval hierarchy, the limit of the last approver must be left blank.

  5. Click Save.
