Processing Bulk Payments

Prerequisites:

Daily transaction ACH limit validations will occur before submitting and approving the payment. For more information, refer to Daily Transaction ACH Limit.

Note:

Payments can only be submitted on business days. Payment processing and money transfers cannot be initiated on weekends or bank holidays.

To process payments in bulk:

  1. Go to SuiteBanking > Payments Automation > Dashboard.

  2. On the left pane, click Bills.

  3. In the GL Account list, select either the HSBC Bank Account or HSBC Credit Card Account to display all bill payments to vendors with Payments Automation set up.

    Note:

    If you use NetSuite OneWorld and have multiple HSBC accounts, bills associated with subsidiary where the HSBC bank account is opened will be displayed in the list.

  4. Select the A/P Account.

  5. (Optional) Filter the displayed bills based on the due date or the vendor.

  6. Select the bills to process. You can select only bills with a reference number. If a reference number is longer than 35 characters, the transaction will fail.

  7. Click Submit.

Note:

If you select multiple bills to pay, only one payment is created for the total amount of the bills selected per vendor.

Note:

After the payments are processed, a batch will be created and routed for approval. When the batch is approved, payment records will be created.

If the Vendor Payments Approval Routing approval is enabled, these payments created from the batch will go for another level of approval. This Vendor Payments Approval Routing is optional, and the user can turn the feature on or off as needed. For information about the payment approval process, see Using the Approval Routing Feature.

For information about the payment approval process, see Setting Up Batch Approval Routing.
