Stage 2 - Create the bulk payment request. Then submit it for approval
Part 1 – Create the request
To create the bulk payment request, select the bulk payment template that you wish to use. Check if there are any beneficiaries you need to remove from the bulk payment.
Enter the actual payment amounts and references for those beneficiaries you want to include in the bulk payment. Check the beneficiaries and payment amounts are correct, and edit the execution date to when you wish to make the payment.
The payment creator will be asked to approve it first, before submitting it to your authorisers for approval.
Top tips
- Make sure each beneficiary has a payment amount and reference added.
- Special characters (punctuation marks and symbols) cannot be used within beneficiary references or payment references.
- Edit the execution date (value date) to the date you wish to make the payment. Check the approvers are available to authorise the payment request by 4pm that day. Otherwise, you’ll need to recreate and resubmit the request for approval.
Part 2 – Submit request for approval
It may take a few moments before details of the bulk payment request are available to review on the system. You will then need to submit it to your authorisers for approval.
In all cases, once the bulk payment instruction has been fully approved, the payments will be made as per the beneficiary list, including the amounts, references and beneficiary names. We are sorry for the confusion this may have caused.
