AP Bill.com
A company has just launched the Bill.com platform, and its accounts payable (AP) team previously was accustomed to uniformly selecting all invoices and issuing checks for signature. The new system requires designating an authorized user for payments, but currently the check signer is responsible for selecting payments, preventing AP from leading payment runs. The team considers adding processing permissions (at $0.01 per transaction) for AP specialists to select bills, with the signer then authorizing payments, but the signer permission settings need to be clarified.
We have just implemented bill.com - previously, as AP, I always selected all invoices and cut checks to be signed. With bill.com, since you are assigning the Authorized Users for payments, how does your AP team select bills? Currently, my check signers are selecting the payments, which is not allowing "AP" to drive the check run. Are you assigning an AP Specialist to be able to select? If so, what is their Signing ability? We were looking at adding on our AP Specialist to process at $.01 to select the bills, then it would be routed for payment authorized by the check signers. TIA
