Your inquiry results are broken down into these status categories: Approved Voucher, Unapproved Voucher, Negative Voucher, Hold Payment, Prepaid Voucher, and Draft Issued.

Note: The Prepaid Voucher row displays unapplied amounts of paid prepayment vouchers.

If your search retrieves no data for a status category, the results region of the page displays 0.00 in each amount field.

For payments that fall into more than one category, such as an unapproved negative voucher, the following hierarchy applies:

  1. Hold payments.

  2. Negative vouchers.

  3. Unapproved or approved vouchers.

In this hierarchy, 1 is the highest priority. For example, a negative voucher has a higher priority than an unapproved voucher, so a negative, unapproved voucher appears in the Negative Voucher column.

The columns in the following table refer to the scheduled date or maturity date of a voucher, payment, or draft

These fields display in the Past Due column.
