Question : Where do I find guidance about processing transactions?
Answer : Click on this link to see FAQs about processing transactions, and follow the links for the transaction
types that you want to process.
Question : Where do I find information about names and terminology used in BusinessOnline?
Answer : Look in the Glossary, or use the ‘Find’ facility in Adobe Reader to search for the term.
Question : What are the main differences between Batches, Lists and Files?
Answer :
If you create a Batch of transactions, then any Approve and/or Hold and/or Release instructions apply to all
of the transactions contained within the Batch.
You can edit a Batch of transactions within BusinessOnline.
If you upload a File of transactions, then any Approve and/or Hold and/or Release instructions apply to all of
the transactions contained within the File.
To amend the contents of a File you should edit it ‘offline’ before uploading it to BusinessOnline.
If you submit a List of transactions then any Approve and/or Hold and/or Release instructions must be
applied separately to each of the transactions submitted in the List.
If you submit a List of transactions then you can edit each transaction separately within BusinessOnline.
Question : What does ‘Approve’ mean?
Answer : Depending upon the ‘workflow rules’ agreed for your organisation, certain payments or instructions may
require to be approved by another Corporate User, or sometimes by more than one other Corporate User, before
they can be processed by BusinessOnline.
If a payment or instruction requires to be approved, BusinessOnline will prompt for ‘Next Approver’ details.
Question : What does ‘Hold’ mean?
Answer : When confirming a payment or other instruction, select Yes from the drop down menu if the payment or
instruction is to be held, or select No if it is not to be held.
The effect of holding is that the payment or instruction will not be executed until it is released.
Question : What does ‘Release’ mean?
Answer : When a payment or instruction that was held is released, processing of the payment or instruction by
BusinessOnline can continue.
Question : What happens if a payment is not approved by the due date?
Answer : If a payment requires approval then it cannot proceed until it is approved.
If you attempt to approve it after the due date then the Approval screen will display a message saying that the
payment is being submitted after its due date, and that the payment/release date is changed to DD/MM/YYYY.
If you do not want to proceed you can click on Back instead of Submit, and then (separately) cancel the payment.
If you Submit the Approval request then the Acknowledgement screen will display a message saying that the
payment/release date is changed.
Question : What happens if a payment is not released by the due date?
Answer : If a payment is held then it cannot proceed until it is released.
If you attempt to release it after the due date then the Release screen will display a message saying that the payment
is being submitted after its due date, and that the payment/release date is changed to DD/MM/YYYY.
If you do not want to proceed you can click on Back instead of Submit, and then (separately) cancel the payment.
If you Submit the Release request then the Acknowledgement screen will display a message saying that the
payment/release date is changed.
Question : What are Nicknames used for?
Answer : For convenience, Nicknames may be allocated to Accounts and/or Beneficiaries to make them easier to
identify on BusinessOnline screens.
For example if there are several lengthy Account names that are similar to each other, it may be easier to work with
them by allocating short Nicknames that can be recognised and differentiated readily.
For any Account and/or Beneficiary where no Nickname is allocated, BusinessOnline will store the full name as
the Nickname.
You cannot use the same Nickname for more than one Beneficiary. Each Beneficiary Nickname used by a
Corporate must be unique
Question : What does Status mean?
Answer : The status of transactions, file uploads and Beneficiaries change as they progress through the
BusinessOnline ‘workflow’. Click on these links for brief explanations of statuses that you may see, and actions
required :
Beneficiary Statuses
File Upload Statuses
Transaction Statuses
Question : What should I do if I have a problem with my Security Device?
Answer : Refer to the BusinessOnline Security Device Guide for guidance on how to use the Security Device.
If you cannot find the information you require or if the Security Device will not operate in a satisfactory way you should
advise your Corporate Administrator, who may be able to advise you or to take actions to restore functionality – for
example where a Security Device is locked because an invalid PIN was used.
If your Corporate Administrator advises that the Security Device is to be replaced because it is no longer serviceable,
see How do I dispose of a failed security device? for guidance on how to dispose of the failed device.
Question : How do I dispose of a failed Security Device?
Answer : The Security Device must be disposed of in an appropriate way. Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank
offer a free service to BusinessOnline customers to dispose of Security Devices that is in accordance with the
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (January 2007). To dispose of your Security Device simply send
it in an envelope to the following freepost address;
Freepost RSLC-CGAT-HAJT
pp SH15
BT Operate
Phoenix House
Milton Keynes
MK9 1BE
Question : Can I print off information from BusinessOnline?
Answer : There is printing functionality available on some of the BusinessOnline screens where the print button is
shown.
When a screen from BusinessOnline is printed the printer setting can be either Portrait or Landscape.
Please Note: The print functionality is not compatible with Internet Explorer 6 as we do not support this
browser.
Question : What is Dual Control?
Answer : Dual Control provides an extra layer of security for Businesses. It means that one Corporate Administrator
has to approve specified non-financial rules (tasks) when they have been instructed to by another Corporate
Administrator. This functionality is optional and can only be switched on and off by the BusinessOnline Helpdesk on
completion of the necessary paperwork.
The tasks included in Dual Control are:
User Maintenance
Set-Up Account Linkage
Set-Up Subsidiary Linkage
Update User Roles
Update Approval Limits
Update Financial Rules
Question : What is the HMRC Reference in BACS payments?
Answer : The HMRC Reference is Non Mandatory field within the BACS Multi Funds Transfer and is solely for BACS
Credit payments. The HMRC Reference is for Salary or Wage payments only. The HMRC Reference is provided by
either your payroll services supplier or from HMRC. The following is required to be included in your payment instruction:
A solidus(/) followed by a three alphanumeric character sub reference, generated from the following characters:
Hyphen(-), full stop (.), Solidus(/), Zero to 9, A to Z (Uppercase)
An example of this would be “/123” or “/ABC” or “/A-.”
The sub-reference needs to be generated with each relevant payment from the employer, so that where an individual is
paid the same amount on a regular basis the sub-reference allows the different transactions to be identified.
For further information please refer to http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rti
Question : What characters can I use to enter data in BusinessOnline?
Answer : As a general rule, all conventional keyboard characters may be used, except for :
` ¬ ! " £ $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + = [ ] { } ; : ' @ # ~ , < > \ | ? CrLf
But there are some exceptions, where some of these ‘banned’ characters may be used in certain fields. The exceptions
are that :
( ) + : ' , ?
may be used in the following fields :
