The timing of direct debits cancellations depends on which remittance method that you use. In both cases, you can cancel the direct debit after you mark the direct debit as ready to remit on the direct debit worksheet and run the Receivables Update process. If you remit direct debits by generating an EFT file in PeopleSoft Receivables, you must cancel the direct debit before you generate the EFT file.

If you remit direct debits using PeopleSoft Cash Management Financial Gateway, you can cancel the direct debit after you run the Create EFT Through FG System process as long as the dispatch status is Awaiting Dispatch, Error, or Flagged for Hold. You can cancel a completed direct debit, if the dispatch status is Error.

If you remitted the direct debit through Financial Gateway and you cancel the direct debit, the system triggers the Payment Cancellation message (PAYMENT_CANCEL) to notify Financial Gateway. You must save the page to trigger the message. Financial Gateway returns an acknowledgement message in real time. When you refresh the page, the status changes to Canceled.

Note: If there is a problem with canceling the direct debit in Financial Gateway, the status changes to Error. Click the Transaction ID link to determine the reason for the error. Then try to cancel the direct debit again.

After you cancel a direct debit, you run the Receivable Update process. This changes the status of the direct debit to Rejected, reopens the items included in the direct debit, and creates accounting entries to reverse the accounting entries that the process created when you posted the direct debit group.

Note: If you cancel a direct debit prenote, the prenote status is reset to New and a new prenote is generated during the next run of the Create Direct Debit process.

Use the Cancel Direct Debits page (DD_CANCEL) to cancel a direct debit.

Cancel Direct Debits page

If the direct debit does not have a remitted status, you cannot cancel it using this page. Instead, you can reject it on the direct debit worksheet page.
