In release 12, Oracle Fusion Payments introduces Payment Approvals. This feature allows you to send payments to approvers for review before final
payments are made to suppliers or employees.
Payment approvals allow you to define approval policy for payments created through payment process requests. When payment approval is enabled, the
payment process stops at the Review Proposed Payments stage, and approvers can optionally remove payments directly from a payment process request
and then approve it.
Approvers can approve or reject payment process requests directly from e-mails. They can also perform other approval actions from the payment approval
worklist notifications. Payment approval enables the management to control payments by prioritizing the available funds.

All individual payments details are attached to the notification in the form of a report.

This feature supports approval process for payments created through payment process requests only . Payment approvals are not applicable for payments
created using the Create Payments page.
Approvers can remove the individual payments from payment process request and approve or reject payment process request with remaining payments.
