Resubmit a declined payment request

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

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

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

  1. Remove the AP supplier invoice or AP supplier invoices with problems from the current payment request:

    1. Go to Accounts Payable > All > Payments > Payment requests.

    2. Find the declined payment request (Payment status is Unapproved).
    3. Select More actionsEdit at the end of the row.

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

      Leave at least one AP supplier invoice in the payment request; otherwise, you need to cancel the payment request.

    5. Select Save.

      Intacct automatically selects to pay the AP supplier invoices that remain in the payment request and sends a revised AP supplier invoice payment for approval, if required.
