Hi,
Is it possible to edit a vendor payment journal AFTER the payment file has been generated but not posted?
What sometimes happens in our organisation :
- User creates a vendor payment journal, generates a payment proposal (making some changes etc) and it is approved through workflow
- 'Generate Payments' option is selected which in turn generates an XML payment file
- Finance Manager then imports this XML file into the online bank
- Sometimes an error on the bank side may occur here, eg incorrect bank account details and the bank rejects the entire file
- When this happens we want to be able to go back into vendor payment journal, remove the offending entry and generate a new payment file for upload to the bank.
- However we receive an error that a payment has already been generated for this journal (bear in mind nothing has actually been posted yet!)
- This means the user has to start the entire process again, creating a new vendor payment journal and preparing the entire payment proposal again.
Any way around this? Appreciate any help as it is creating a lot of re-work for our Accounts Payable team
Thank you!
