  • Eligible users with Payment Management role permissions and account access and Payment Templates entitlements can create a Periodic Payment schedule. For more information, please refer to Role Permissions and User Permissions.

Periodic Payment Schedules

Periodic Payments allow you to establish a schedule to manage Direct Entry (AU) or Domestic (NZ) recurring payments. If your organisation is set up to approve templates, a new periodic payment will need to be approved by users with the correct permissions prior to being active. Once active, a payment is created from the schedule approximately seven days before the Value Date and will be available to view and approve in the Current Payments screen.

Follow the steps below to create a monthly periodic payment schedule.
