Requiring transaction approval

BillingCenter users create transactions in various situations and for various amounts. Insurers may want to require supervisor approval for transactions of a given type that exceed a given amount.

This topic describes how transaction approval can be implemented through the use of approvable transactions, authority limits, and approval activities.

Approvable transactions

An approvable transaction is a financial object that an end user can create manually but that BillingCenter will not process until the object has been approved. There are 13 types of approvable transactions in BillingCenter:

  • Advance commission payment
  • Bonus commission payment
  • Charge reversal
  • Credit
  • Credit reversal
  • Disbursement
  • Funds transfer
  • Funds transfer reversal
  • Negative write-off
  • Negative write-off reversal
  • Producer payable transfer
  • Write-off
  • Write-off reversal

The determination of when to process an approvable transaction is managed by authority limits.
