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.

Edit and resubmit a payment containing multiple AP purchase invoices

This approach allows you to work with the AP purchase invoices you removed without holding up payment on the rest.
