5. Summary

This page lists all vendor accounts that have been processed and transaction line items on a payment. Accounts with a zero payment value are listed. If this is a check payment, there will be nothing in the Payment Reference column, indicating that a check was not created for these accounts. See Payments Plus - 5. Summary Fields for more details. The success email contains a link to the Payment Summary page.

During a successful Post and Match process:

  • The relevant transactions are posted and automatically matched.
  • If there is no outstanding balance, the status of the related source transaction line items becomes "Matched" and their outstanding values are updated accordingly (if there is an outstanding balance, the status will remain "Available").
  • The proposal's status changes to "Matched".
  • Journals are posted and matched to reflect any discounts and/or currency write-offs generated by the payment.
  • When you post transactions using accounts, bank accounts, expenses, products, and tax codes associated only with local GLAs, journals and cash entries are created using the local GLAs. At transaction level, the information is reflected in the transaction line items through the mappings between the corporate GLAs and the local GLAs.

You can cancel payments and use the error handling function to resubmit the Post & Match proposal or discard accounts.

See Payments Plus - 5. Summary Fields for details of the information displayed on this screen.

If, for example, a check is lost in the mail, or an electronic payment is rejected by the bank, you can cancel the payment, even after the Post & Match process. The payments that you can cancel depend on whether you have created payments at account or invoice level. The following conditions apply when canceling payments.

Cancel Payment Conditions

Payment Level

Condition
All You can only cancel payments that have been successfully posted and matched.

Exceptions

You cannot cancel a payment if the status is:

  • Error
  • Canceled
  • Discarded
  • Removed (electronic only)

Also, you cannot cancel a payment if:

  • The transaction line item for the cash entry has been reconciled
  • The payment has a value of zero (you will have to manually undo the match)

If there is a problem with the Cancel Payment or Post & Match process, the status will change.

A. When there is a problem with the Cancel Payment process, the status is "Canceling Error".

When you click Error Handling, the options are:

  • View Error Log
  • Resubmit Cancel Payment

B. When there is a problem with the Post & Match process, the status is "Error".

When you click Error Handling, the options are:

  • View Error Log
  • Resubmit Post & Match
  • Discard All Failed Payments

When you select View Error Log a popup window appears where you can view details of the payments with errors. If you cannot see the whole error message, hover over the text to see it in full.

You need to correct the errors and then resubmit.

You also receive a failure email. The failure email contains links to both the Payment Summary page and the Payment Log page.

Warning:
This option should only be used when you have tried other ways to fix failed payments. You cannot select which payments to discard.

If you have tried all other options to fix failed payments, you can discard them. The discard process sets the payment value for all failed transaction line items to zero. The status of the transactions is reset to "Available" so that you can include them in another payment proposal, or match them manually.

If all payments are discarded, the payment proposal status is set to "Discarded". If the proposal contains successfully posted and matched payments, the status will remain as "Matched".

In the sidebar, the total value of the payment is updated to reflect the discarded payment amounts. The number of vendors paid and the number of transactions paid remains the same. All three values reflect the sum of the data currently displayed in the grid.

To discard failed payments:

  1. Click Error Handling and then click Discard All Failed Payments.
  2. A warning message is displayed. Click Discard Failed.

The failed payments are discarded. The payment value for each of the transaction line items is set to zero, their statuses are reset to "Available", and the account line summary is updated.

Notes:
If the Post & Match process was aborted, you cannot discard failed payments. You can only resubmit the Post & Match process.
When you discard a payment for an account, the value is set to zero on the Payment Summary page so you can see that it existed. The payment is released from the proposal and goes back to "Available". You must post a cash entry to represent that check/electronic payment, and manually match it to the transaction line items you want to pay.

If you have partially discarded payments from an account, the Post & Match button will be disabled.

To enable the Post & Match button you must do one of the following:

A. Post a cash entry representing the discarded amount and match it to the transaction line items that were discarded.

B. Remove the partially discarded account.

  2. Click the Asperato Payments tab.
  3. Click the failed payment.
  4. Correct the payment errors listed on the page.

  1. Go to the Payments list view.
  2. Select your payment proposal.
  3. On the Payment Detail page click Check PDF.

Any accounts you have removed before you click Post & Match, appear on the Summary page with the status "Discarded". This way you can clearly see which accounts were paid, and which were not paid.

Hover over the status and a tool tip is displayed with the reason why the account was removed. The payment value for the accounts and the related transaction line items with the status "Discarded", is zero.

Accounts with a value always appear at the top of the list (both Matched and Error).

Accounts with a zero value appear after, in the following order:

  • Match accounts
  • Canceled accounts
  • Discarded accounts

Payment Total

In the side panel, the removed accounts are not included in Vendors Paid or Transactions Paid. Therefore, the Payment Total will only be the sum of accounts with the status "Matched" or "Error".
