        General FAQs

A message advises you to check for an email that contains a link to reset your password and if the email does not appear within a few minutes, to contact our Support Team.

        ClosedHow do I find out which user roles I've been assigned?

        ClosedAre there limitations to payee fields that I need to be aware of when using the Tipalti Hub?

        ClosedCan I customize the emails sent to payees by Tipalti on the payer's behalf?

        Yes. Click here for a list of these email templates and descriptions, as well as variables used in these templates.

        ClosedDoes Tipalti use standardized codes for data?

        Yes. Tipalti uses ISO codes for currency, country, state and province data. These codes are used in APIs, IPNsAn Instant Payment Notification (IPN) is a messaging service that enables you to receive notifications from Tipalti. IPNs are triggered when defined events occur (e.g., updating payee details)., files and reports (see ISO codes).

        Multiple entities

        ClosedWe are a single entity company that would like to use separate bank accounts to fund our Tipalti account. Does the Multi-Entity feature allow us to connect multiple bank accounts to our Tipalti account?

        Using separate bank accounts to fund your Tipalti account is a feature of Tipalti and not a Multi-EntityAn entity can be a subsidiary, division, business unit, brand, etc. of your organization. Entities can have similar or different AP processes and workflows. feature; therefore, you can apply this funding with or without Multi-Entity. Please be aware that you need to go through a compliance process to use different bank accounts for funding.

        ClosedCan payees be associated with multiple entities under a single payer account? If so, do they need to onboard multiple times?

        Payees cannot be associated with multiple entities under a single payer account. Payees onboard once and are associated with a single entity or no entity at all. When it is time to submit a bill for the payee (if the Bills module is enabled), you can assign the bill a different entity than that of the payee. The entity assigned to the bill overrides the entity assigned to the payee. The bill is paid from the virtual account associated with the entity.

        If you have the Taxation module enabled, tax forms can be assigned per entity (e.g., W-8 tax forms for a US entity, VAT IDValue-Added Tax Identification Number for a European entity). The appropriate entity can then be assigned to payees so they can access the relevant tax form from within the iFrame or Supplier Hub. A payee cannot submit different tax form information for different entities because each payee can be associated with only one entity. To allow a payee to submit different tax information for different entities, you need to create multiple payee records in the system—one for each entity. Currently, we cannot support the ability of a single payee to submit different tax form information per entity.

        ClosedHow is Multi-Entity relevant for companies with all US entities?

        Multi-Entity provides you with one place to manage payment operations—you do not need to switch between different systems and accounts. All bills are in one place and payees are paid across different entities in one place. Reporting and tax preparation are also centralized in one system. Companies with all US entities, such as those with multiple brands, headquarters with multiple acquisitions, and multiple business units with different business models can all benefit from using Multi-Entity.
