Enhanced Check Payment Event Tracking
We are introducing a new payment event to provide better clarity between check delivery methods. Previously, our "Check Sent" event status indicated that an emailed check was sent to the recipient or that a physical check was sent to the printer, creating ambiguity in tracking.
Changes to Check Payment Events:
• New Event: "Check Sent to Printer" – specifically indicates when a physical check has been sent to the printer for printing and mailing
• Updated Event: "Check Sent" will be renamed to "Check Emailed" – specifically indicates when a check was delivered electronically via email
This separation provides clear distinction between the two delivery methods and eliminates ambiguity in payment status tracking.
Benefits of Enhanced Event Tracking:
• Clear delivery visibility: Instantly see whether a check was emailed or physically mailed through distinct event notifications
• Accurate timing expectations: Set appropriate delivery timeframes based on delivery method (emailed checks arrive instantly, while mailed checks require 5-7 business days)
Intelligent Payment Splitting for Large Supplier Payments
Previously, when API-submitted invoices for a single supplier totaled over $10 million in a single batch, payments could not be processed automatically due to our per-supplier payment limit. This resulted in delays and manual intervention from our payment operations team.
Our system now automatically reviews and combines invoices to ensure no single supplier payment exceeds our $10 million threshold. If the batch total surpasses this limit, your payments will be split automatically and processed without delay.
Example:
If you submit three invoices for a supplier—one for $9 million, one for $2 million, and one for $1 million—the system will generate two payments: one for $9 million and one for $3 million. This prevents any single transfer exceeding our $10 million cap and eliminates manual payment delays.
