Written by Charles Maranda

If you’ve already uploaded a payment file and created a payment batch, the next step, if you have approval policies in place is routing the payments through your predefined approval workflows.

Routing a payment batch for approvals

Once you’ve created a batch from your uploaded payment file, Finofo will automatically check if any of the payments fall under your approval policies.

  • The creator of the batch will see all the payment details and be able to route the batch for approval.

  • Payments within the policy limits will be sent to the relevant approvers defined by your rules.
    ​

What approvers will see

Approvers will get full context before approving:

  • A detailed breakdown of each payment in the batch
    ​

  • The source accounts funding each transaction

  • Currency conversions and rates involved

  • The payment reason for each line item

  • Approval chain so far
    ​

Once approved, the batch moves to the next stage for processing.
​

Final execution

Anyone with Executor permissions can now process the approved batch and complete the payments.
