Send transaction for repair

Authorising transactions is a straight forward and secure process, applicable to ANZ Internet Banking for Business customers with the relevant authority. If you are unhappy with a transaction submitted for authorisation you can send it back to the user for editing.

Choosing "Send for repair" automatically sends the transaction to the "Repair payments" list.
From here the user can edit the selected transaction and re-submit it for authorisation.

How do I send a transaction for repair?

ANZ Internet Banking for Business Administrators or Authorisers can easily send a transaction, which has been submitted for approval, back for repair.

Go to the "Pay and transfer" menu.
Select "Authorise payments/transfers".

This will display a summary page, containing the list of payments/transfers, which are waiting to be authorised, sent for repair, rejected or deleted.

Step 1 - Select the relevant transaction and click "Send for repair"

Select the relevant payment/transfer, using the radio buttons under the "Select" column.
Click "Send for repair".

Step 2 - Review summary of transaction details

The following information will display for the transaction:

The details of the payment account.
Transfer details including the payment status, payment type, creator, transfer instructions, payment date, lodgement number, etc.
The recipient's details.

Step 3 - Enter the reason why the item needs to be repaired

Enter the reason as to why the transaction has been sent back for repair.
Click on the "Send for Repair" button on the bottom right.
Click "OK" when the confirmation dialogue box appears if you want to proceed.

Frequently asked questions

Use our frequently asked questions to find out more about sending a transaction for repair.

Who can send transactions for repair?

The Administrators and Authorisers with the correct access to the business accounts will receive payments/transfers for authorisation.

If a payment/transfer requires further editing the Authoriser/Administrator sends it back for repair.

What is the difference between the terms Administrator and Authoriser?

An authoriser is the person who has authority to make payments on the account.

Administrators can complete the functions of an Authoriser but are also able to set up Operators.

What happens to payments awaiting authorisation?

Payments awaiting authorisation sit in a "Work in progress queue" in "Authorise payments/transfers" under the "Pay and transfer" menu until they reach the payment expiry period as selected on the registration form.

This period, between seven and 31 days, determines the amount of time a payment can stay unauthorised before expiring.

Can errors in payments be fixed after they're sent for authorisation?

Yes. An Administrator or Authoriser can choose to "Send for repair" or "Reject" a payment. Any payment that has been sent for repair will appear in the repair queue and can be corrected and resubmitted.

Repair payments and transfers summary

What does a status of "expired" mean for a payment/transfer?

Payments can expire in one of the two ways:

If the payment was created as an immediate payment and was not fully authorised within the payment authorisation period.
If the payment was created as a scheduled payment (future dated) and was not authorised by the cut-off time the previous bank business day by all required parties.
If the status shows that the payment has expired, the same payment cannot be authorised again. A new payment needs to be set up and authorised within the authorisation period.
