Dishonor Activity Page

DRAFT_RUN_ARDISH01

Define the run parameters for the Dishonored Drafts report (ARX32104). Use the report to list all drafts that have a dishonored status.

See the PeopleSoft Receivables Reports: A to Z for more information.

You can dishonor a draft at any point in the draft life cycle after you have approved it but before you reconcile it on a bank statement. You dishonor a draft after you remit it, and it is past due because a customer fails to pay the draft at the maturity date. You can dishonor a draft earlier in the draft life cycle if you know that they will not be able to pay for it.

After you select drafts to be dishonored, run the Receivables Update process to:

  • Create accounting entries.

  • Update the activity table.

  • Change the draft status to Dishonored.

Use the Dishonor Draft Selection page (DRAFT_DISH_SEL_IC) to build a dishonor draft worksheet.

Dishonor Draft Selection page

Worksheets are cumulative. As long as you do not clear the worksheet, you can keep expanding it by selecting additional criteria. Each time you build a worksheet, the drafts you previously selected remain, and the system adds drafts that meet the new criteria to the worksheet.

The Restrict To field works basically the same for all selection criteria. They determine how reference information should be combined with other selection options to determine which drafts appear in the worksheet. The values vary based on the selection criteria you enter. Values include:

After you dishonor a draft, you must handle the outstanding debt for the draft by performing one of the following tasks:

  • Pay for the items on the draft by check or another draft.

    To do this, void the draft to reopen the items. Then, either pay for the items on a different draft or change the payment method for the item to check.

  • Present the draft to the bank at a later date.

    To do this, cancel the remittance. Then, change the due date for the draft on the draft worksheet and remit the draft again. Use this option only if you already remitted the draft to the bank when you dishonor it.

  • Write off the items on the draft.

    To do this, void the draft and then write off the items on the maintenance worksheet.

  • Transfer the items in the draft to a doubtful receivables account.

    To do this, void the draft and then use a transfer worksheet to transfer the items.
