ScotiaConnect will require a second approval when adding the EFT payments service to a user group or adding a function to a group.

 

Any services that you add to a group will show up with a status of ‘Pending’ under the Pending Services column on the Group information screen, until approval is provided by another user.

 

Approval settings belonging to the EFT Payments service:

 

If you would like to give a group the authority to approve other users’ EFT payment transactions and pre-approved EFT payment templates Put a check next to the Approval Authority checkbox.

 

Note: Approval settings apply to both EFT Payments and EFT Payment Templates

The Approver option can be set to either:

a)       Approval Must Come From a User in a Different Group

(If selected then the User who approves a payment must be in a different Group than the User who entered the payment)

b)       Must be a Different User

Note:  If you need to change your Approval option you will need to contact your Relationship manager.

Note:  If the minimum/maximum number of approvals required have been set to ‘0’ at the Service level, all transactions will automatically be pre-approved and you will not be able to enter user approval limits per transaction or per day.

Agreements belonging to the EFT Payments service:

SD Agreement Number’s are associated with a Receivables Settlement Account and a Payables Settlement Account and are in turn associated with your ScotiaConnect service agreement. They define where your reports go for each Service agreement.

You can setup multiple Agreement numbers.

To assign group access to an agreement, place a check mark in the box next to the agreement, under the Assign column. 

Note: The users in a group will not be able to create, view, update, approve, and delete any transactions or templates for agreements that are not assigned to the group.

 

Note: The SD Agreement Number is used by ScotiaConnect to receive your EFT reports. If your Receivable Settlement account number is different than your Payable Settlement account number all EFT reports for “both” Settlement accounts will be delivered to that same Agreement Number and thus will be viewable by the same user from the EFT Reports Menu. If you have multiple Agreement Numbers, It is recommended that you have the bank setup all your Agreement numbers with both the Receivable and Payables Settlement Account Numbers as the same account number. This way you will create a 1 to 1 relationship between your SD Agreement Number and your Account Number. This force all reports for a single Bank Account Number to go to a single SD Agreement Number. This make it so a user who has a access to a specific SD Agreement Number will only see reports for the Settlement Accounts that they have the rights to view.

 

You can make multiple changes to each group without saving your changes. But once you are done you must save all your changes.

 

To save your changes, click on the Continue button to go back to the Group Information Privileges screen

 

To save your changes click Save button then click the Done button.
