# Executions

An **Execution** is the final step in the payout process. Once an intent has been approved and passed through any required [workflows](https://sandbox-doc.gitbook.io/ottu-team-sandbox-doc/user-guide/payout/payout-management/workflows), it is executed — meaning the actual transfer of money to the [beneficiary](https://sandbox-doc.gitbook.io/ottu-team-sandbox-doc/user-guide/payout/payout-management/beneficiaries) takes place.

> Executions give you full visibility and control over every payout, including monitoring, retrying, or canceling transactions.

### [**Execution Overview**](#execution-overview)

The **Executions** area under **Payouts** provides full visibility and control over payout processing, from initial intent creation to final execution status.\
It is organized into three tabs: [**Intents**](#intents), [**Intent Groups**](#intent-groups), and [**Executions**](#executions), each serving a distinct purpose in the payout lifecycle.

### 1. [Intents](#intents)

The **Intents** tab displays all individual [payout intents](https://sandbox-doc.gitbook.io/ottu-team-sandbox-doc/user-guide/payout/payout-management/payout-intents) created in the system.\
A payout intent represents a **request to transfer a specific amount** from a merchant account to a beneficiary account.

* **Execute Now** – Execute the entire group

### 3. [Executions](#executions)

The **Executions** tab shows the **actual payout execution records**, which are generated when payout intents or intent groups are executed.
