After you set up an [approval workflow](/docs/x/manage-teams/approval-workflow) and [create bulk payout](/docs/x/bulk-payouts#create-bulk-payout), you can review the bulk payout batch files and approve them with a single OTP.
## How it Works
Assume you have set up an approval workflow where:
| Total Amount Condition | Action |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| 0 - ₹10,000 | No approval from Owner is needed. |
| ₹10,000 - ₹50,000 | Approval from the Finance role is needed. |
| Greater than ₹50,000 | Approval from the role Finance and Administrator is needed. |
Suppose you have created a bulk payout batch of 15 payouts each worth ₹1,000. The batch's total is ₹15,000. Approval workflow is applicable on:
* **The individual payout's amount in a batch**:
In this case, the bulk payout batch is not sent for approval as the individual payout's amount is not greater than ₹10,000.
Only if there are individual payouts greater than ₹10,000 in a batch file, you must approve each payout.
* **The sum of all the payout amounts in a batch**:
In this case, batch total is ₹15,000. This batch is sent for approval as the total batch amount is > ₹10,000.
Choose the second option in the [set up process](#set-up) to approve bulk payout batch with a single OTP.
## Set Up
To approve bulk payout batches with a single OTP, enable the setting:
1. Log in to the [RazorpayX Dashboard](https://x.razorpay.com/auth) as an [Owner/Admin](/docs/x/manage-teams) and go to **My Account & Settings** under the user profile icon.
2. Navigate to **Workflows** from the left menu.
3. Click the edit icon against **Approvals on Bulk Payouts** section.
