Payments to Submit

The Payments to Submit page of the dashboard displays all created payments, including the ones that didn't need approval and the ones that were approved through a payment approval workflow.

Before you can submit payments to BILL for processing, you need to verify your identity for all the bank accounts linked with BILL. See User Verification for more information.

After you have verified yourself for the with BILL, you can submit the payments to BILL for processing.

To submit payments to BILL:

  1. Go to Payment Automation > Dashboard > Overview.

  2. For NetSuite OneWorld accounts, click Overview for a subsidiary in the Subsidiaries Using Automated Bill Payments section of the Automated Bill Payments Overview page.

  3. In the left panel, under Payment Processing, click Payments to Submit.

  4. Click Submit Payments.

    The payments are submitted for processing to BILL.

To track submitted payments, see Viewing Payments.

Only one user can submit payments to BILL at a time. It may take some time for the payments to be sent to BILL. If another user tries to submit payments at the same time, an error message is displayed to them.

After the payments are submitted successfully, you receive an email confirming that the payment is being processed. The email contains the estimated date by which these payments are processed to the vendor and the date when the funds.

After the payment is submitted to BILL for processing, ensure that there are enough funds available in the bank accounts from which the payments have been made. Also, ensure that there are no blocks in the bank accounts from which the payments are to be debited. This ensures that payments are processed to your vendors on time and your BILL account remains active.

In case, enough funds are not available for processing the payment, the payments fail. The transactions for such payments can be submitted for processing in a new payment run.

Important Things to Note Before Submitting Payments

Before you submit payments, take note of the following:

  • Check the payment details before submitting the payments to BILL for processing. You can't edit payments after they are submitted to BILL.

  • Payments should be submitted to BILL before 6 pm Pacific Time (UTC – 8) to be processed the same day. Payments submitted after 6 pm Pacific Time (UTC – 8) are processed by BILL the next business day, according to their payment schedules.

  • When you submit payments to bill, and there is no trusted session with BILL, you will be asked to complete Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). See Generating MFA for more information.

  • When you submit future-dated payments, these payments are submitted to BILL in advance and will be processed automatically on the specified date.

  • For future-dated payments the Earliest Funding Date and Estimated Payment Dates fields are left blank on the Payments to Submit page.
