Emburse Pay is the payments experience used with Emburse Enterprise Invoice and Certify AP to issue and track payments for approved and exported invoices. It provides a centralized place to review invoices, initiate payments, and monitor payment status.
Emburse Pay supports payments to vendors in the United States and Canada. Vendors outside these regions appear in Emburse Pay for visibility and tracking, but payments to those vendors are handled outside the platform.
What Emburse Pay Is For
You use Emburse Pay to manage the payment stage of your invoice workflow after invoices are approved and exported from your AP solution.
With Emburse Pay, you can:
- Review invoices that are ready to pay, on hold, in progress, or completed.
- Initiate payments for supported vendors.
- Track payment status and history.
- Manage returned or on-hold invoices.
- Export invoice data for reconciliation and reporting.
Emburse Pay handles payment processing automatically. You do not select or configure payment methods as part of the payment workflow.
Supported Regions and Vendors
Emburse Pay supports payment execution for vendors located in the United States and Canada.
All vendors from your AP system are synced into Emburse Pay and appear in the Vendors list.
-
US and Canada vendors:
Invoices can be paid through Emburse Pay using supported payment methods, which are managed automatically by the system. -
Vendors outside the US and Canada:
Invoices appear in Emburse Pay for visibility and audit purposes. These invoices cannot be paid through Emburse Pay. The available action is Mark as paid offline, which records the payment for tracking and reconciliation after it is completed outside the platform.
Access Prerequisites
To access Emburse Pay, the following requirements must be met:
- Your organization uses Emburse Enterprise Invoice or Certify AP.
- You are assigned the Invoice B2B Dashboard Enabled permission in either Emburse Enterprise Invoice or Certify AP, depending on your implementation. This is set in Master Data > People.
If this permission is not assigned, the Emburse Pay link does not appear in the application.
Vendors in Emburse Pay
All vendors from your AP system are automatically synced into Emburse Pay.
To appear correctly in Emburse Pay, vendors must have:
- A vendor name
- A vendor address
- A vendor email address
When a vendor is saved or updated in your AP system, the vendor is synced in the background and becomes available in Emburse Pay.
The Vendors page in Emburse Pay is primarily used to assign a default funding account for each vendor.
