Processing authorized transactions

When the set of transactions is authorized for the last authorization stage in the chain, the status of all of the transactions is set to Authorization Granted. The status on the authorization set is set to Complete.

The next processing that takes place depends on the function triggering the authorization requirement. This is the Stage Type defined on the authorization stages. In general, processing is completed and the transactions are posted or updated. For example:

  • If the transactions are for payment, when they are fully authorized the payment run is completed automatically.
  • If the transactions are journals held by Ledger Entry or Ledger Import, when they are fully authorized they are posted automatically (providing they still balance).
  • If the transactions are for authorization by a matching process such as account allocations, when they are fully authorized the matching processing is performed automatically and the allocation of the transactions is completed.

You can manually run Payment Documents (PYD) for a Payment Run that has been authorized and posted. Any discounts applied are included on the payment documents.
