Key Features and Benefits: * Multi-level Approvals: Establish up to three approval levels with multiple approvers at each level, requiring a specified number of approvals for each stage. * Approval History: Maintain a comprehensive audit trail of all approval requests, including approved, rejected, and pending requests, with detailed information about each action. * Impact on Payment Processing: Pending approval requests prevent payments to the affected vendor, ensuring payments are processed only with accurate and approved bank details. * Approval Workflows: Define customized approval processes for different types of vendor bank detail changes (updates, additions, deletions). * ERP-Synced Change Handling: Approvals are required for manual changes within the FISPAN plugin. Changes originating from your ERP system are automatically synced, preventing accidental overwrites and ensuring data consistency. To access the Vendor Bank Details Approval module, please follow the below steps: * Access Approval Workflows: Log in to the FISPAN Portal (sys.fispan.live) and navigate to the Vendor Record Approvals section in the Control Center. * Create and Manage Workflows: Define your approval workflows, specifying approvers, required approvals, and applicable entities. * Review and Approve Requests: Access pending approval requests within the Intacct plugin, review the proposed changes, and approve or reject them accordingly."} ::: For more details on the Vendor Bank Details Approval module, please refer to our Product Guide: [Payment Method Approvals (Business Central)](docId\:KFNk-t_qK-6wnylmaZeiN) *** ## April 2025 :::Changelog{title="2025.3.0.0 - April 9, 2025"} ::ChangelogItem{type="improved" description="We have implemented an additional layer of protection in the plugin to prevent clients from processing payments for the same bill multiple times.
