Payments

Log on to Batch Payments and use either the Quick Search option at the top of the page or the Advanced Search option. Entering the order number or delivery note number will display details of any invoices relating to those numbers.

Most definitely yes! Because you make just one monthly payment to Batch per currency each month no matter how many suppliers there are to pay, you will pay a single bank charge. Note: you should check with your bank or transfer service regarding these charges.

• Yes, Batch is multi-currency so payments in Sterling, Euros and US dollars are accepted. However, not all suppliers accept all three currencies through Batch. Look at the list of suppliers to check their individual status.
• Important: if the invoice has been raised in a particular currency, then the payment to Batch must be in that currency.

• If your business is based in the UK, Batch will take a Direct Debit from you on the last working day of the month for the amount that has been authorised.
• If you are based in Eire, Batch can take a Direct Debit for Sterling payments on the last working day of the month, provided you have a UK bank account. If not, the payment will need to be sent by bank transfer to arrive no later than the closing date for authorisation.
• Booksellers in the rest of the world must pay by a monthly bank transfer. For more information please follow this link.

Invoices and credits will be shown on Batch as soon as the suppliers send them. Batch only displays invoice and credit data provided by the suppliers, so if there are errors or items missing, you should contact the supplier directly. Note: if you are new to Batch, the supplier will only provide us with invoices raised after they have set up your account for Batch. Any transactions dated prior to this will not be uploaded.

The amount to be transferred is in the 'Amount to be Paid to Batch' column on the far right of the 'Current Period Summary' screen.

Non-direct debit customers: if you have a balance from the previous month, this will be visible in the Balance Summary below the suppliers listed on the Current Period page. The amount brought forward from the previous period will be displayed.

So, after all authorisations are done, the C/FWD (Carried Forward) column in the Balance Summary will show the amount that needs to be paid, including any outstanding balances from previous periods.
