What is a Payment Requester?

A Payment Requester is an individual granted permission to create and submit interim payment requests and prepare the final Reconciliation payment request using the RDS Secure Website. Only the Authorized Representative can submit the final Reconciliation payment request. The Authorized Representative always has the Request Payment privilege for all applications to which they are assigned. The Account Manager and Designees may also be assigned the Request Payment privilege for submitting interim payment requests and for helping to prepare the Reconciliation payment request. The Request Payment privilege is assigned at the application level. For information on which Reconciliation steps are accessible for users assigned the Request Payment privilege, refer to User Roles and Responsibilities in the Reconciliation Steps.
