How do you approve payment requests and see what remains to be paid?
Updated: · Grygoriy Synieok
How it works in Syntech Finance Center: payment request, approval, partial payment, status
Each payment request has a counterparty, purpose, priority, cost center, cash flow item and planned date; numbering is automatic. Approval is a status change, not an approval route with visas, tasks or notifications.
Statuses are Draft, InApproval, Approved, Rejected, PartiallyPaid and Paid. Approval requires a cash flow item and cash account and freezes amount and currency; a corrected amount needs a new request.
Payments are Planned or Actual. Only Actual payments reduce the remaining amount and move the request to PartiallyPaid or Paid; the request tracks paid and remaining amounts.
