Using the Bill Payments Page

This guide outlines how one can create Bill Payments together with Atlar.

After setting up Atlar File Payments, you can make payments as you normally would using the Electronic Bank Payments (EBP) module. Follow these steps:

  1. Create a Bill.
  2. Create Payment File
  3. Validate file is generated
  4. Approve payments in the Atlar dashboard.

The payment file will be created as usual by the EBP module. With Atlar File Payments configured, the file will automatically be sent to Atlar for further processing within 15 minutes. This ensures a seamless payment workflow while leveraging Atlar’s capabilities.


1. Create a Bill

To follow along this example, create a bill in NetSuite


2. Create Payment File

To create a payment file you simply navigate to the Payments > Payment Processing > Bill Payment Processing and then you select which Bank account and AP Account.

Now you should have a list of bills that you can choose from. Select the bills that you want to create a payment for and then press Submit. This will instruct NetSuite to create the payment file (and re-direct you to a new page)


3. Validate file is generated

The page you are on now is called Payment File Administration. On this page you will see the progress of the

payment file being created! Make sure to refresh the page for the updates to be visible.

After a file has been successfully created the page should have a FILE PROCESSED field saying Processed. You can also download the actual file (not required) with the download link under the FILE REFERENCE.

When this is done, you have successfully sent a payment file over to Atlar, which you then approve in the Atlar dashboard.


4. Approve payments in Atlar

This step happens in the Atlar dashboard and is not specific to NetSuite.
See Approvals for details on configuring and managing approval chains.

Note:

If your organization uses multi-step approvals, make sure all approvers are correctly assigned in Atlar.
Payments won’t be executed until all approval steps are complete
