NetSuite Payment Automation

NetSuite Module
NetSuite Payment Automation processes vendor payments directly in NetSuite with ACH, virtual cards, and automated approval routing.

How Much Does NetSuite Payment Automation Cost?

  • Payment Automation is a no-charge add-on module to NetSuite. But the real cost isn't the license—it's the staff hours printing and mailing checks, the payment errors from duplicate entry, and the manual reconciliation work that delays close.

Why Choose Stockton10?

Approval workflows became bottlenecks
Payment approvals take 5 business days. Everyone's waiting on one approver who's traveling. We optimize approval routing for speed.
Virtual card program unused
Enabled virtual cards. Nobody uses them. Vendors still get ACH. Cash back opportunity wasted. We drive virtual card adoption.
Reconciliation still manual
Auto-matching enabled but doesn't work. Finance reconciles payments manually in spreadsheets. We configure matching rules properly.
Vendors not properly onboarded
Half your vendors aren't set up for electronic payments. Still printing checks for them. We systematically onboard vendors.
Payment batching abandoned
Built payment batches for cash flow optimization. AP processes payments ad hoc anyway. We enforce batch discipline.
Payment dashboard ignored
Built visibility dashboards. Nobody looks at them. Payment status inquiries still go to AP via email. We make dashboards actionable.

Manual payment entry and approval routing delays payments. Automated workflows and batch processing speed payment cycles.
  • Payment errors and duplicate payments

Manual payment entry creates errors and duplicates. Automated GL posting and approval controls reduce payment mistakes.
  • Lack of payment visibility and tracking

Employee changes in HR don't flow to payroll requiring duplicate entry. SuitePeople HR and Payroll share the same database.
  • Disconnected payment systems
