    You can find more information about this on the UK Payments Administration website.

Supplier bank details email notifications

Note - information

To use this feature, you'll need to use Microsoft Power Automate with a Microsoft 365 subscription.

You can send email notifications for changes to supplier bank details by using the supplier bank details flow.

The supplier bank details flow automatically sends emails to people to notify them of any changes to the bank details for supplier accounts. The emails are sent to everyone that has user access to the Audit Log, so that they can check the changes in the log.

This flow will run at 15 minute intervals each day, but you can configure the flow to change this frequency and timing.

Note: If you use multiple companies, the flow must be set up for each company.

    To set up the flow for email notifications, see Set up Microsoft Power Automate with Sage 200.

    2. For each user, double select the user's System name name, or right-click the user and choose Properties.
    3. Enable Receive Notifications by Email.
    4. Move to the Details tab, then enter the user's Email address to receive notifications.
