Buyers can cancel (void or stop) payments either through PeopleSoft eSettlements or through PeopleSoft Payables. They can then reissue the payment, reissue the payment with a hold, or close the liability. In PeopleSoft eSettlements, a cancelled payment triggers an email notification to the supplier user if this notification type has been set up and if payment was made electronically. PeopleSoft Payables provides no email notification. Whether you use PeopleSoft eSettlements or PeopleSoft Payables depends on your business requirements.

Note: If a buyer cancels a payment in PeopleSoft eSettlements and then further modifies the payment in PeopleSoft Payables (such as uncanceling or changing a void to a stop), the supplier will not receive email notification of the modification.

For payments submitted through the PeopleSoft Financial Gateway, the payment cancellation processing logic in PeopleSoft eSettlements is similar to the PeopleSoft Payables cancellation logic. Payments loaded but not yet processed through the bank can be canceled. However, for payments that are undergoing processing, you must wait for the system to finish processing and display a Complete status. You can then cancel the payment and resubmit the payment.

Note: You must run the PeopleSoft Payables Payment Posting Application Engine process (AP_PSTPYMNT) to reissue the invoices. Once you do so, the system cancels the original payment schedule and creates another one. Running this process creates another payment installment against the voucher and, depending on the option you select, places the installment on hold.
