  • Vendors with outstanding balance < 0
  • Excludes vendors with zero or positive balances

📊 Batch Review Experience

• Clicking Export Payment Batch opens a modal with:
  • Vendor list: Vendor name | # Bills | Payable Amount
  • Ability to exclude/include vendors
  • Summary of total vendors and total payout amount

🟢 Platform/ UI: Multi-Site Subscription Access

We’ve enhanced subscription behavior to support multi-site access for products shared across multiple sites within the same Pelcro account.

✅ What’s New:

• Subscriptions tied to a multi-site product now grant access across all associated sites.
• When a user subscribes on any site using a plan under that product:
