Approve and pay a bill

Once a bill is in Tera, it goes through approval and then payment.

Approve a bill

1. Open the bill from the AP Inbox.
2. If you're the current approver and it's pending, an Approve button appears — click Approve (or Reject).
3. When all required levels have approved, the bill becomes Approved and is ready to pay. See Understanding approval workflows.

Pay a bill

1. On an approved bill, click Pay (or Schedule Payment).
2. Choose the Pay To account (the vendor's bank account) and the Source Account (your linked account).
3. Choose the Payment Mode:
   - 🇮🇳 India — IMPS, NEFT, or RTGS.
   - 🇺🇸 US — ACH, Wire, Check, or Card (a transaction fee may be shown).
4. To schedule, pick a date. Payments falling on a weekend or holiday move to the previous business day.
5. Click Proceed, review the summary, then Pay or Confirm & Schedule.

A success screen confirms the payment with a transaction reference.

Note: Payment routes to the vendor's saved bank details — see How vendors get paid.
