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 AP supplier invoices, you can remove an AP supplier invoice.

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 AP supplier invoice, and then resubmit the AP supplier invoice for payment.
