Edit a payment request

You can edit some details of a payment request, such as the bank or payment date. In addition, you can remove one or more bills entirely from a payment request.

When can I edit a payment request?

You can edit the payment request depending on its state.

Relationship between Payment status and whether the payment request can be edited
Payment status	Description
Submitted	Editable.
Partially approved	Editable. Payment status reverts to Submitted and the payment request enters the approval process again.
Unapproved	Editable. Payment status reverts to Submitted and the payment request enters the approval process again.
Approved	Editable. Payment status reverts to Submitted and the payment request enters the approval process again. If the payment request is not subject to approvals, the payment status remains Approved.
Delivered	Not editable. A payment status of Delivered means that the payment process has been initiated and is awaiting the next step. For example, you printed the check or generated the associated ACH or bank file. To change a delivered payment, you need to void the unconfirmed payment, cancel the request, and then resubmit the bills for payment.
Complete	Not editable. These payments have posted to the General Ledger. To change the payment, you need to void the posted payment without reversing associated bills, then resubmit the bills for payment.

To edit payments requests created at a different level, go to the level where it was created. For example, if you are at the entity level, the Edit option does not appear for payment requests created at the top level. Go to the top level to see the option.

What can I edit on a payment request?

If the Payment status allows for editing, you can change the following fields.

Bank
Payment date
Document number
Memo

If the payment request contains multiple bills, you can remove a bill.

You cannot edit the remaining fields, such as the payment method, currency, or amount, or credits to apply. If you need to change any of these details, cancel the request, make any necessary changes to the bill, and then resubmit the bill for payment.
