# How to review and pay submitted bills?

 

Once a bill has been submitted, it will be in pending review status.

Submitted bills linked to a budget can be reviewed by budget owners or admins. Bills not linked to a budget can be reviewed by admins or finance users with transfer permission.

You can follow the step-by-step process below:

**Approving submitted bills**

**1.** On your Aspire dashboard, click on **[Bills](https://app.aspireapp.com/sg/dashboard/debit/bill-pay)** in the left navigation bar (web app) or click "Menu" and choose "Bills" (mobile app). Then select a bill under **pending review status**. 

![Screenshot-2024-05-29-105745](https://support.aspireapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot-2024-05-29-105745.png?width=274&height=218&name=Screenshot-2024-05-29-105745.png)

**2.** Here you have three options: **edit**, **approve** or **reject** the bill (*you will have the option to place the reason as to why you're rejecting the bill*).

![](https://support.aspireapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-18-2023-09-27-49-4914-AM.png?width=337&height=59&name=image-png-Oct-18-2023-09-27-49-4914-AM.png)

**Submit request to approve bill payment**

After approving the submitted bill, it will be marked as **pending payment**. The same group of approvers can then request approval to pay for the bill:

**3.** Click on **Submit transfer**.

![](https://usercontent.clueso.io/d1725ae4-b8ae-4bbe-b339-ca58dbe4eb83/7eba436d-da1c-4907-a889-0d2e2e7fc99d/images/706d5664-2976-4c23-8a9d-6ccefa7e1ec6.png)

**4.** Fill in the particulars of the bill payment, then click **Next**

- Transfer recipient
- Source of funds
- Budget
- Reference transfer
- Category
- Other active custom reporting fields in your account

**5.** Review the transfer details and if all is good, click **Confirm**.

**Note!** If your company does **not** have a [Transfer Approval Policy](https://support.aspireapp.com/faq/what-is-a-transfer-approval-policy) in place, administrators or finance users with transfer rights can directly make the bill payment.

 However, if your company has implemented a [Transfer Approval Policy](https://support.aspireapp.com/faq/what-is-a-transfer-approval-policy), the designated approvers will review and approve the submitted request for bill payment. To view the pending approvals, you can click on "**Show pending approvals**" and see the list of users who need to approve the request before the money is sent to the recipient.![](https://usercontent.clueso.io/d1725ae4-b8ae-4bbe-b339-ca58dbe4eb83/7eba436d-da1c-4907-a889-0d2e2e7fc99d/images/9504a2ca-1874-4807-9e46-fdf0ccfe845c.png)![](https://usercontent.clueso.io/d1725ae4-b8ae-4bbe-b339-ca58dbe4eb83/7eba436d-da1c-4907-a889-0d2e2e7fc99d/images/f01229ad-bc20-44b5-9053-500d5cc4e567.png)

 

**Approve submitted bill payment request**

Admin, Finance with transfer rights or approvers under the [Transfer Approval Policy](https://support.aspireapp.com/faq/what-is-a-transfer-approval-policy) can approve and initiate the bill payment:

**Step 6:** On your Aspire dashboard, click on **[Bills](https://app.aspireapp.com/sg/dashboard/debit/bill-pay)** in the left navigation bar (web app) or click "Menu" and choose "Bills" (mobile app).

**Step 7:** Look for the bill that has **pending payment status**, and click on it.![](https://support.aspireapp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-22-58-0262-PM-1.png)

**Step 8:** Click on **Review Transfer**. 

![](https://support.aspireapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-24-00-8415-PM-1.png?width=221&height=406&name=image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-24-00-8415-PM-1.png)

**Step 9:** From here they can either:

- **Approve** the transfer and have the amount sent to the recipient
- **Reject** the transfer and place the reason for rejection  
            ![](https://support.aspireapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-30-31-2793-PM-1.png?width=228&height=466&name=image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-30-31-2793-PM-1.png)        ![](https://support.aspireapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-29-08-0921-PM-1.png?width=227&height=466&name=image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-29-08-0921-PM-1.png)
- **Modify the transfer details** to amend the transfer reference, category, and other custom reporting fields. However, they can no longer change the amount and source of funds.

       ![](https://support.aspireapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-27-31-5603-PM-1.png?width=228&height=474&name=image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-27-31-5603-PM-1.png)   ![](https://support.aspireapp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-26-19-5442-PM-1.png?width=370&height=423&name=image-png-Jun-12-2023-02-26-19-5442-PM-1.png)

Once it has been approved, the amount will be paid to the recipient.
