Vendor bank-change verification queue
Use a request to change supplier payment details to create an out-of-band verification task and restricted approval record. The design keeps source references, uncertain matches, and approval decisions visible to the responsible accountant. It coordinates an administrative handoff with version checks and an exception queue. Never update bank instructions from the contents of an inbound email alone.
1. Define the starting point
Start with a request to change supplier payment details. A successful handoff produces an out-of-band verification task and restricted approval record. Define the accountable owner before connecting systems. Never update bank instructions from the contents of an inbound email alone. A source event is a request to evaluate the current state; it is not permission to make an irreversible change.
2. Walk through the process
1. Quarantine the change request
Record the request source and supplier reference without applying the proposed details.
2. Identify the established contact
Retrieve an independently maintained contact from the existing approved vendor record.
3. Assign out-of-band verification
A responsible person verifies the request using the established channel and records evidence securely.
4. Require authorized approval
Apply the payment-detail change policy and separate verification from final authorization.
5. Verify the controlled update
The authorized operator confirms the changed destination and records the audit reference; no payment is sent.
3. Check the information
Use invented references in this worksheet. Keep real documents and personal records in an appropriate private system.
| Reference field | Working record | Check |
|---|---|---|
| vendor_id | vendor_id | Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement. |
| change_request_id | change_request_id | Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement. |
| verified_contact_ref | verified_contact_ref | Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement. |
| authorization_ref | authorization_ref | Resolve the stable source reference in the correct client, entity, and engagement. |
4. Verify the process
Use synthetic examples. Mark a check only after recording what actually happened.
