Modern Treasury's platform allows you to configure approval workflows for payments and external accounts. While this is optional, we recommend our customers use these capabilities to add a layer of control on top of their payment operations.
When you have approval rules in place for payments or external accounts, each time the respective object is created it is run through our rules engine. The rules engine checks the payment or external account against your organization's approval rules. When a rule's conditions are met, then approval will be required before that payment or external account can be made successfully.
In this guide you will find
How to configure a new approval rule
- Login to Modern Treasury
- Navigate to the Settings page
- Click "Approval Rules" in the Payments section
- Select "Payment Orders" or "External Accounts", depending on the rule(s) you'd like to make
- Click "+ New Rule"
- Add at least one condition and one approver
A few things to keep in mind when creating approval rules
- For both conditions and approvers, when there are multiple conditions they must all be met. For example, if two or more approvers are added then they must all approve the same Payment Order in order for it to begin processing.
- The approver will have to be a member of the selected group.
