From the Payment Options section, select from one of the available payment methods.
From the Confirm Payment Method Update dialogue box, use the Reason drop-down menu to select a reason for the payment method change. If you selected Other, enter a reason for the change in the text box.
Select Confirm.
Notes:
- The current payment method can be seen in the Invoice Remaining Balance section.
- The TPA Payment Method cannot be selected once another payment option is selected.
- ATL disbursers and owners disbursing funds to Main Contractors can use the Edit Payment Status page to switch payment option for an individual MC payment application to Manual Cheque. The change will not affect On System Sub-Tiers. Signed VAT invoice documents are removed when the MC payment application is switched to Manual Cheque payment option.
- If he payment method is switched from Manual to BACS, it needs to be authorised before it can be disbursed.
