This screen is only accessible to users having authorisation rights for the execution of bulk payments. This screen allows the authorizer to view by bulk ID all bulk payments that are pending for execution and require authorisation to be processed.
Authorisation Process
• From the Select Bulk ID: Select the Bulk ID of the bulk you wish to review and authorise from the drop-down list.
• By selecting a Bulk ID, you can see in the table below the details of each individual transaction included in the said bulk
• By clicking on Transaction Number, you can view the details of each individual payment that is included in the bulk
• You have the option to Decline any payment in the bulk by clicking on the available checkbox on the right-hand side of each transaction line. If you don’t select Decline for any payment, all payments will be submitted for execution or for further approvals (depending on the signature scheme applied). However, partial file authorizations are not allowed i.e. the payments that have not been declined will be submitted for execution by the Bank when the file is authorized
• If you approve a bulk that requires more than one Signatures to be processed, the bulk will still be pending for approval until the transaction has been approved by the required number of signatories. The signature type(s) pending for the authorization of the transactions, if any, are shown in the Signatures.
• Click Submit.
• You will now be prompted to a confirmation page where you can review the details of the payments
• To complete the process, click the Confirm button.
• Upon successful submission, a message will be displayed on your screen with the Transaction Status.
• The transaction status can be checked on the Bulk Payment Status Screen. When searching for bulk payments, please note that the date is the date on which the bulk was created. Declined transactions will have the status Declined. Transactions that have been approved will have the status Pending or Submitted until the bulk has been processed by the core banking system of the Bank.
