Creating Batches

The Create Batch tab shows batches that are ready to process.

To create a batch:

  1. Click the Create Batch tab.

  2. Select the Associates you want to include in the batch. Checking the box next to the Merchant type will select all associate payables for that type. Or, click the arrow next to the Merchant type to expand the list, then check the box(es) next to the Associate(s) of your choosing.

    Merchant selection

    Note: The number of associates and the total dollar amount of the batch is shown on the page as you make your selections.

  3. If necessary, you can filter the Associate payables results on the page in order to create a batch.

    The Basic Search options include a date selector and search box.

    Basic Search

    The Advanced Search allows you to use advanced filters and sorting on various data points. Click Add to apply a filter to the Associate payments shown on the page. Choose the field you want to filter on, the appropriate operator, and the value to filter on. You can apply sorting in the same way.

    Advanced Search

    Note: You must click on the Search button to apply any updates to the added filters and sorting.  Use the Reset button to remove all filters and sorting.

  4. Click Process Payments when you have finished making your selections.

  5. In the pop-up, confirm the information is correct, then click Process.

  If an Associate doesn’t have an existing account with the payment provider during a payout, the system’s commissions payout process will attempt to create an account for them. If successful, the payment will be made. If unsuccessful, the payment will be marked as failed. You can identify the issue and re-process the payment. For more information, see Resolving Batch Failures.
