eTASK.Payment Processing offers the option to approve a payment run. In this payment approval workflow, any number of approvers with equal authority can approve a payment run simultaneously.
Prerequisite
The incoming or outgoing invoice has been approved and is assigned to the payment run.
The bank account has been initialized for the EBICS procedure.
Note:
Our developers are currently working intensively on implementing the opt-in option for batch orders. This will soon make it possible to activate the legally required recipient verification (Verification of Payee – VoP) for batch transfers as well.
Currently, all payment runs are transmitted to the bank as batch orders by default. These batch orders are transmitted with the opt-out configuration, which intentionally deactivates the legally required verification of payee (VoP).
Effects of the opt-out configuration
By deactivating payee verification:
The bank does not verify the consistency between the payee name and the IBAN
Transfers are executed without prior validation of the payee data
Payment processing is faster since the verification process is omitted
Liability Notice
Liability Notice
Please note that with the current opt-out configuration, the bank does not perform recipient verification. As a result, responsibility for the accuracy of the recipient data remains with the payer or user, as before.
In this case, the bank does not verify the match between the recipient’s name and the IBAN, but executes the order reliably as usual. This procedure continues to enable fast payment processing without an additional verification process.
The opt-in function will be made available shortly and will allow you to execute batch orders with recipient verification in the future, if desired. This will provide you with greater security and reduce your liability risk for payment orders.
We will inform you immediately as soon as the opt-in option is made available and accessible for your system.
Procedure in the FM Portal
Open the notification in your inbox and open the payment run via the link. (Alternatively, you can also find the payment run to be released in the service list in the FM Portal under My Tasks. To do this, select the payment run by clicking on next to the list entry.)

Once all approvers have approved the payment, the sender must complete the payment run. This initiates the payment.
