​ApprovalMax Pay is available in public beta to businesses, accountants and bookkeepers in the UK using Xero

ApprovalMax Pay is a new add-on that enables users to manage payments securely in one place. It uses the open banking technology to pay approved Bills directly from ApprovalMax.
​

With built-in approvals and audit trails, ApprovalMax Pay reduces the risk of fraud and costly mistakes while ensuring full visibility and tight control.
​

  1. First, create a Batch Payment for Bills whose due dates are within a close range
    ​

  2. You can review, sort and approve Batch Payments with just a few clicks. Once a request has been submitted for approval, it will run through the predefined approval workflow, and the respective Approvers get notified.
    ​

  3. When all approvals have been collected, the Batch Payment is ready for payment by authorised Payers: log in to your banking app with ApprovalMax Pay and confirm the payment.
    ​

  4. The Payment will be created in Xero and automatically reconciled once a bank feed is imported into Xero.
    ​

The On Hold status for requests is available for all integrations in private beta
​

The On Hold status allows you to pause a request without cancelling it. This is useful when:
​

  1. You need to gather more information
    ​

  2. You want to postpone a request until a later date

  3. Such requests won't be up for approval/rejection unless the respective person revises the On Hold status and returns the request to On Approval.
    ​
    ​

Currently, ApprovalMax supports the On Hold functionality in beta.
​

If you want to enable this beta feature for your ApprovalMax Organisation, please contact us.
​

After its release, the On Hold functionality will be part of our Advanced and Premium plans.
