Upload Outgoing Payments
An outgoing payment is any payment that is going toward a vendor, customer, or third party and is distinct from settling a bill or invoice. An outgoing payment is made when you want to make any payment right away. You can import the outgoing payments in bulk using the steps mentioned below:
Download the latest CSV template from the “Upload Outgoing Payments” module.
Copy Outgoing Payment(s) information into the CSV template.
Upload the CSV template into Xoro.
Downloading the CSV template
Go to the Upload Outgoing Payments module using the search menu.
Click on the “Download Template“.
Copying the information into the template
Once you’ve downloaded the template file, you can copy your data using any spreadsheet software. There are columns that you must complete and others that are optional. Mandatory fields are marked with a double asterisk (**) prefix.
Below are some points to be noted when entering the data into the template.
The file must be a CSV (Comma-separated values) file. The name of your file must end with csv.
Make sure you don’t change any of the column headings from row 1 in the template as these are needed for the file to import correctly.
All date fields will accept the MM-DD-YYYY format.
Be mindful of any leading zeros in your data, some spreadsheet software will trim them automatically without notifying you. This can be resolved by ensuring your columns have correct formatting.
Sometimes long numbers (UPC, etc.) are formatted as scientific notation. Be sure to change the formatting on this data to display these long numbers correctly.
