Authorisation Dates

What are the Authorisation Dates?

Clearance is the electronic movement of both payment information and money between booksellers and publishers.  Authorisation dates are those dates by which invoices and credit notes must be approved on the system for payment.  

For non-direct debits – funds must be received by Batch for onward transmission to publishers* 

*Bank holiday dates and weekends may vary the date which funds must be cleared by.

Below are the list of authorisation deadline dates for Batch Payments.  Authorisation and payment dates are displayed on the header of your Batch Payments account.  Please take care to authorise only these transactions that you wish to pay 

If you miss the authorisation date, invoices which are due for payment will not be paid.  Any invoices authorised after the authorisation date will not be processed until the next authorisation period
