Note

This functionality is available for Advanced Credit users only. To obtain access to this feature, contact your YayPay account manager.


Submitted Applications: Grid

After you receive credit applications from your customers, you can view them in a form of a grid. Switch between the tabs at the top of the grid to view either ALL applications or only those having the statuses "NEEDS REVIEW", "APPROVED", or "DECLINED".

The displayed list is sortable with respect to each column:

  • Submitted Date (date and time the application was submitted)
  • Business Name (as indicated in Applicant Business Name in the form)
  • Company Name (clickable customer's name from YayPay's database, provided that the customer is assigned to a form) 
  • Currency (customer's currency)
  • Current Credit Limit (customer's current credit limit)
  • Requested Credit Limit (as indicated in the submitted form)
  • Status (NEEDS REVIEW (default), APPROVED, DECLINED)
  • Date Completed (date and time the application status last changed to APPROVED / DECLINED)
  • Payment Score (A to D, also see Customer Payment Scoring)
  • Credit Score (also, displayed on the Customer's Statement, see https://yaypay.helpjuice.com/en_US/Credit-App/credit-scorecards): updated every first day of the month for all customers and submitted forms in NEEDS REVIEW status after the Credit Application is enabled, and after the credit, the scorecard is changed. The displayed value can be manually updated by clicking the "Recalculate" button (e.g. if the credit rates were changed): The credit score calculation formula is as follows:

    Score = Var1(Points*Weight/100) + Var2(Points*Weight/100) + … [number of variables set for a scorecard]
     
  • Creditsafe ID (provided the Customer is linked to the form)
  • Creditsafe Rate (provided the Customer is linked to the form)
  • D&B PAYDEX (provided the Customer is linked to the form) 
  • Year Started (the year the Company started the business)
  • DUNS # (provided the Customer is linked to the form) 
  • Experian ID 
  • Experian Rate 
  • Internal Note (any internal info related to the form/company, reason for approving/declining a form, etc.)

The columns can be hidden from the grid, moved around, and enabled/disabled from the column picker.

The paperclip icon indicates there are documents attached to the form:

Info

The submitted applications are also displayed as a grid on the Statement page in the CREDIT APPLICATIONS tab of the Activity section. Two actions are available to be applied to a submitted form from the Statement page: Preview Form and Download Attachments (for a detailed description of actions with submitted forms see the Actions section below).



Submitted Applications: Actions

For each form, in the grid, a single action bar is displayed upon clicking on the "Show More" menu. Only actions available for the particular form are shown:


The actions bar is duplicated at the top of the grid. Use it to apply an action to a single form or multiple forms selected:


Note 

Some actions can be applied only to a single form selected, i.e. become inactive for multiple selections.


Submitted Forms: Actions

This section describes actions that can be performed for one or multiple submitted forms. 

Delete

Note

Some actions can only be applied to a single selected form, and will become inactive for multiple selections.


Approve/Decline

You can approve/decline a submitted credit application (one or several at a time), and thus change its (their) status: from NEEDS REVIEW to APPROVED/DECLINED, from APPROVED to DECLINED, and vice versa.


Assign customer

You can assign/unassign a customer to a selected submitted application from the dropdown list. There is also an "Unassigned" option. The assigned customers are editable.


Upon selecting this action:

  • if a Customer with no credit attributes (rates and IDs) is assigned to the form, the form attributes will be tied to this Customer and displayed on the Customer Statement page

  • if a form has a "NEEDS REVIEW" status, and a Customer already has credit attributes, the form attributes will be replaced by existing Customer Statement attributes. Empty Customer attributes (if any) will be filled from the application form.

  • if a form has an APPROVED or DECLINED status, it will not be updated by assigning a Customer to it.



Preview Form

Preview is only available for a single form selected (it opens in a new browser tab)


The opened form can be downloaded as a PDF file:


Manage Attachments

By selecting this action you can 

  • download the available documents (related to the selected submitted form): one by one or all of them (as an archive):
  • upload new attachments
  • delete the attachments unless they are added by a customer:


Download Attachments

Download all attached documents associated with the submitted form as an archive named "CreditAppDocs.zip" to your device. The icon is inactive if the form has no documents attached.
