How a payment run works
Payments are gathered through the week and leave together, once two people have looked at them.
A run is a list of transfers with one date. Anyone on the desk can add to it; only a treasurer can approve it. Each transfer keeps the field requested_by, so a question always has someone to go to.
Approvals
A run needs two approvals before the cut-off at 15:00. After that it is locked and sent to the bank as one file.
What stops a run
- A transfer larger than the limit of the account.
- A payee whose details changed in the last seven days.
- A balance that would fall below the agreed floor.
