Symptom
You change the status of a Payment from status In Preparation to status Void.
When you execute the next Payment Run the respective Payment is shown in status In Preparation again.
You expect this Payment to remain in status Void.
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Payables Work Center
- Navigate to Automatic Payments
- Select Payment XXX in status In Preparation
- Click on button Void Proposal
- The status of Payment XXX changes from In Preparation to Void
You execute the next Payment Run, Payment XXX is again in status In Preparation and not in status Void as you would expect it.
Cause
This is the standard system behaviour.
Resolution
You have following options if you don't want to execute a Payment:
- Void the Payment as described above
- Postpone the Payment as follows:
- Open Payables Work Center
- Navigate to Automatic Payments
- Select the respective Payment in status In Preparation
- Click on button Actions - Postpone
- The status of the Payment changes from In Preparation to Postponed
The difference between the functions Void and Postpone is, that with status Postponed the Payment can be changed back to In Preparation by clicking Actions - Reset Postpone while the status Void can only be changed back to In Preparation by executing a new Payment Run.
