Note: For businesses incorporated in Hong Kong, you can only pay out submitted bills from your Aspire USD Account.
Once a bill has been submitted, it will be in pending review status.
Submitted bills linked to a budget can be reviewed by budget owners or admins. Bills not linked to a budget can be reviewed by admins or finance users with transfer permission.
You can follow the step-by-step process below:
Approving submitted bills
1. On your Aspire dashboard, click on "Bills" in the left navigation bar (web app) or click "Menu" and choose "Bills" (mobile app).
2. Here you have three options: edit, approve or reject the bill (you will have the option to place the reason as to why you're rejecting the bill).
Submit request to approve bill payment
After approving the submitted bill, it will be marked as pending payment. The same group of approvers can then request approval to pay for the bill:
3. Click on Submit transfer.
4. Fill in the particulars of the bill payment, then click Next

5. Review the transfer details and if all is good, click Confirm.
Note: If your company does not have a Transfer Approval Policy in place, administrators or finance users with transfer rights can directly make the bill payment.
However, if your company has implemented a Transfer Approval Policy, the designated approvers will review and approve the submitted request for bill payment. To view the pending approvals, you can click on "Show pending approvals" and see the list of users who need to approve the request before the money is sent to the recipient.

Admin, Finance with transfer rights or approvers under the Transfer Approval Policy can approve and initiate the bill payment:
Step 6: On your Aspire dashboard, click on "Bills" in the left navigation bar (web app) or click "Menu" and choose "Bills" (mobile app).

Modify the transfer details to amend the transfer reference, category, and other custom reporting fields. However, they can no longer change the amount and source of funds.
Once it has been approved, the amount will be paid to the recipient.
