Authorising Payments
Updated 9 months ago

Overview

Authorising payments is a critical step in the Mysa payment workflow, reserved for Admins to ensure secure fund transfers. This article explains how to complete the authorisation process and handle any issues that may arise.

Only Admins have the permission to authorise payments. Finance Controllers can create and review payments, but cannot authorise them.

A payment moves to the In Auth tab once it has been created from ready to Pay. All direct payments created will also move to In Auth directly. From here, it must be authorised by an Admin before it can be processed by the bank.

Understanding the In Auth tab

All the below columns are available in the In Auth Tab. By default Due Amount, Status and PO number columns are hidden. These can be made visible by selecting it from 'Configure Columns' icon on the top right of the table.

  6. Payment is now authorised
    The payment status will change to Processing and is now being sent to the bank.


What Happens After Authorisation?

  • The payment enters the Processing stage.

  • If successful, it moves to Success

  • If it fails (due to bank error, incorrect details, etc.), it moves to Failed.

  • You can track the status from the All Transactions section.

When Authorisation Fails

A payment cannot be authorised if:

  • The vendor's bank account is in cool-off or inactive

  • The bank account has errors (e.g., invalid IFSC or account mismatch)


Rejecting a Payment

If you don’t wish to proceed with a payment:

  • Click Reject in the In Auth tab

  • The payment will move to the Rejected tab

  • The associated bill will reappear in the Ready to Pay tab for reprocessing
