Batch Payments - Overview

The Batch Payments module under Purchases allows you to make payments for bills of multiple vendors at once. You can create a batch, export it, and upload it into your bank portal to make the payment. Once done, you can mark the batch as processed in Zoho Spend, and the status of the associated payments made will be updated. Let’s see how Batch Payments for vendor bills work in Zoho Spend.

Statuses of a Batch Payment

A batch payment in Zoho Spend can be in one of the following statuses:

• Draft: A newly created batch will be in the Draft status.
• Pending Approval: If Approvals is enabled for the Batch Payments module, batches submitted for approval will be in the Pending Approval status.
• Approved: Batch payments approved by approvers will be in the Approved status.
• Rejected: Batch payments rejected by approvers will be in the Rejected status.
• Exported: Batch payments exported to upload in the bank for payment will be in the Exported status.
• Processed: Batches for which payments have been made will be in the Processed status.
• Canceled: Canceled batches will be in the Canceled status.
