Resubmit a declined payment request

If an AP purchase invoice you selected for payment required approval and was declined, you might be able to fix the issues and resubmit the AP purchase invoice for payment, depending on the reason the payment request was declined.

For unapproved payments that include multiple AP purchase invoices, it often makes sense to remove the problem AP purchase invoice from the request before fixing the problem, which allows the remaining AP purchase invoices to be paid immediately.

When a payment request is declined, the payment request remains in the Payment requests page. Its payment status changes from Submitted to Unapproved. Any payment on the Payment requests page that has a payment status of Approved is available for you to pay.

For payments with more than one AP purchase invoice, you might find it easier to remove any AP purchase invoices with issues from the current payment request. This approach allows you to work with the AP purchase invoices you removed without holding up payment on the rest. The AP purchase invoices that remain in the payment request are automatically resubmitted for approval. After you correct the AP purchase invoices that require changes, you can select them for payment again.

    3. Select More actionsEdit at the end of the row.

    4. Clear the Select checkbox beside any AP purchase invoice that you want to remove from the payment request.
