How to set up a Batch Payment approval workflow

This is how you set up a Batch Payment workflow:

  • In the main menu, find your Organisation and open the Approval Workflows page under Workflows and Settings. Click on the Batch Payment workflow.

  • In the first step, click on Add a Requester to add users who can create Batch Payments in ApprovalMax.

  • To restrict what each Requester can submit, click the Matrix icon to configure the Requester matrix.

  • The next step is an optional Auto-Approval step. Any requests matching the rules defined here will be automatically approved and bypass all further approval steps. To add an Auto-Approval step, click on the + Icon in the workflow and select Add Auto-Approval step.

  • Then click on Auto-Approval settings to configure your rules.

  • Next are the Approval steps, where you add the Approvers who will approve or reject Batch Payments. Click on Add an Approver to add Approvers.

  • You can add as many approval steps as needed to reflect the number of authorisation levels in your Organisation by clicking + Step.

  • For each approval step, click the Matrix icon to configure approval conditions, including routing by Bill Amount, Requester, Vendor or Wallet.

  • Once all Approvers are added, set the Approval condition for each step. Choose whether any of or all of the approvers need to approve for the step to be completed.

  • The final workflow step is Pay, where you assign Payers, the users who will be able to make payments.

  • When all steps and conditions have been set, click on Activate the workflow.

  • And that’s it! Once activated, you can start on your first request by clicking on Go to requests.
