Overview of Payment Statuses

The following table provides an overview of payment statuses used in Payment Automation.

ACH and Check Statuses

Status

Description

For Submission

The payment is created in NetSuite but has not yet been communicated to the payment processor and a transaction is not yet created at the payment processor. Waiting to be sent to the payment processor. With approval routing enabled, only approved payments are sent for processing.

Pending

The payment processor confirms the payment is created in their system and is waiting for funds from the source bank to be credited into the HSBC Online Account.

Processing

ACH Funding from source bank is credited to HSBC Online Account. Payment is sent to HSBC for processing and is waiting now for HSBC confirmation.

Payment Sent

The payment is in queue for HSBC processing. Checks are printed and mailed at this stage.

Paid

Received confirmation from the payment processor that payment initiation was successful. The ACH or check payment has been settled and cleared in your HSBC Online Account.

Data Error

Payment information contains erroneous data like incorrect address formatting or special characters in payment details. You can see the reason for failure in the Failed Reason field on the SuiteBanking subtab of the bill payment record. For more information, see Addressing the Data Error Status.

Failed

Payment processing failed, and payment was voided. A new payment transaction needs to be initiated. You can see the reason for failure in the Failed Reason field on the SuiteBanking subtab of the bill payment record.

ACH Payment Return

The payment was returned by the vendor’s bank due to incorrect bank details or another error. For more information, see Addressing the ACH Payment Return Status.

For Resubmission

ACH funding from the source bank is credited to the HSBC Online Account. However, initial attempts in sending the payment to HSBC failed. The system will automatically queue the payment for next day execution.

Important:

Reprocess for ACH Payment Returned and Data Error statuses is not yet available in this version of the SuiteApp. You must manually void the payment and proceed with the manual withdrawal and reprocess after correcting the errors in Payment instructions. For more information, see Addressing the ACH Payment Return Status and Addressing the Data Error Status.

Addressing the Data Error Status

Payments with incorrect or missing data are updated with the Data Error status along with an error code and description. When this happens, you can:

  • Void the payment – choose this option if you prefer to submit another payment instead. The payment status will change to Failed and the record will be voided. You will be asked you want to withdraw the funding money from HSBC. If so, you'll be redirected to the Withdrawal page.

You can see the reason for failure in the Failed Reason field on the SuiteBanking subtab of the bill payment record.

Addressing the ACH Payment Return Status

The return payment is updated with info from the reconciliation report when the money is credited back to HSBC Online Account. The Failure Reason will be empty because this information is not available in the reconciliation report. You will receive an e-mail notification from HSBC about why the payment was returned.

When a payment is returned, you have to void the payment in NetSuite. The payment status will change to Failed and the record will be voided. You will be asked if you want to withdraw the funding money from HSBC. If so, you'll be redirected to the Withdrawal page. After you void the payment, make changes to prevent the error from occurring, and submit another payment.

Note:

If a payment is returned, the user must void the payment in NetSuite using the same process as voiding a payment in Data Error, which includes the withdrawal process. After correcting the error that caused the return, the user can submit a new payment.
