"Allow Batch Authorization" must be set in Client Configuration during the activation process to enable you to authorize a batch of payments.
On the CitiDirect navigation bar, click Payments and select Batch Authorize. The Payments Summary Form appears. All batches of payments with an "Authorization Required" status that you are entitled to authorize are listed. Note: If no batches currently exist, the Please select criteria for Authorize batches dialog box appears so you can specify filter criteria to create batches to authorize.
Select a batch and click Authorize. To select multiple batches, drag the cursor down sequential lines or hold the CTRL key as you click to select individual lines that are not sequential.
–OR–
Click Delete to delete the selected batches. A Warning dialog box appears. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
Notes:
If one or more payments within the batch fails authorization, the entire batch cannot be authorized. Select the batch that failed authorization, click Other Options, and then click View Error Messages to identify the payments that failed. Click the Repair Req'd Tab and repair the payments. Once the payments are repaired, return to the Batch Authorize Tab and authorize the batch.
To see a listing of the payments that a batch contains, select the batch, click Show Transactions. The Batch Transactions dialog box, which lists all transactions in the selected batch, appears.
If you entered a payment you cannot authorize it.
