# Navigating the Ready for Release Queue

After a bill payment is created in *NetSuite*, the final step before disbursement is managing payments through the *Ready for Release* queue. This queue only displays payments that meet key requirements, such as vendor onboarding, funding source linkage, and checklist completion. It also includes tools for filtering, selecting, and exporting payment data to support efficient payment processing.<br>

This article provides a step-by-step guide to accessing and navigating the *Ready for Release* queue in **Charted**. It outlines how payments flow into the queue, how to manage and organize them, and how to use available features to streamline release operations.

### Access and Use the Ready for Release Queue <a href="#uu3hes28ii95" id="uu3hes28ii95"></a>

The **Ready for Release** queue collects payments that meet all required criteria and are ready to be released.

These steps explain how to navigate and manage payments within this view.<br>

1. Once a bill payment is created in *NetSuite*, it may take up to 15 minutes to appear in the Ready for Release queue. \ <br>

   <br>

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/EhY5zuA8v4fu2vvYvqT2" alt="" width="424"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>
5. At the top of the page, you’ll see three tabs: **Ready for Release**, **Not Ready for Release**, and **Release in Process**:\ <br>

   <figure><img src="/files/qxWCFqjyCiwBawqRpbal" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

   \
   The **Ready for Release** tab includes bill payments that have passed all requirements, such as a linked funding source, onboarded payee, and a completed checklist.\
   \
   The **Not** **Ready for Release** tab include payments related to payees who haven't responded to an invite, a payment method still pending approval, or an unlinked funding source.\
   \
   The **Release in Process** tab includes all payments that have been released in the last 60 seconds. After 60 seconds these payments will be released and removed from the queue. <br>
6. Payments are grouped by **BUSINESS ENTITY**, and this view is collapsible. Click the arrow icon to expand or collapse each group and view all related payments:\ <br>

   <div align="left"><img src="/files/h4Ge9Wr9zoAhy5YLEMRl" alt=""></div>

   <br>
7. You can select all payments under a business entity by clicking the header row, or choose individual payments as needed:\ <br>

   <div align="left"><img src="/files/NjfHECfHEwHZFK8Xr7oW" alt=""></div>

   <br>
8. The total amount is displayed at both the business entity level and at the bottom of the page under **Total Amount**. For example, if you select **$2**, **$300**, and **$600** payments, these will appear below, and the total will display as **$902**. The record count will also show, such as **Total Amount (3)** with **$902.00 USD** under the **AMOUNT** column:\ <br>

   <div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/eOK0VEWgN5LL23YrArUQ" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

   <br>
9. To filter the list, click the **Filters** button and use the **Business Entity** dropdown to select a specific entity (e.g., **Charted**):\ <br>

   <div align="left"><img src="/files/dXbmCWgvDDLLyLATSMWn" alt=""></div>

   \
   \
   Only payments that match the active filter will be shown and available for release. If you had payments selected before applying the filter, they will disappear from view.<br>
10. To bring those selections back, click the **Clear** button. Your previous selections will be restored:\ <br>

    <div align="left"><img src="/files/eY6NhIK7u1jUuthEoxFS" alt=""></div>

    <br>
11. You can also export the data by clicking **Export to CSV**. This downloads the full table, not just the filtered or selected records, for use in Excel or a database:\ <br>
