why is designated approver missing approve button on eft payment batch

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The designated approver might be missing the approve button on the EFT payment batch due to the conflict between the Electronic Bank Payments SuiteApp and the Vendor Payments preference. If the approval routing is enabled in accounting preferences for vendor payments, this issue can occur when trying to generate a payment batch through bill payment processing. To resolve this, you can navigate to Payments | Setup | Electronic Payments Preferences and tick the EFT Payment Batch Approval Routing box. However, it's important to note that you can't have both vendor payment approvals in the system and Electronic Bank Payments (EBP) in the same account. You can have approval routing within EBP, but if you use EBP and also regular payments for checks or something similar, the regular payments have to automatically post as approved. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
