Tips   Edit a payment request

If your system is configured to make payments using an ERP system, you cannot edit payment requests. For other configurations, you cannot edit payment requests whose status is Scheduled, Paid, or Canceled.

If a payment request contains invalid data or fields, edit the request to correct the problems; otherwise, the request will not be scheduled for payment.

Changes you make to the payment method and remittance address can affect how a payment is sent to the supplier. For example, if a payment is initially set for transmission to Ariba Supplier Network (Ariba SN), and you change the payment method or remittance address to a combination that is not supported by the supplier, the payment cannot be made using Ariba SN. When this situation occurs, Ariba Settlement displays a warning. If you confirm the changes and proceed, Ariba Settlement takes the appropriate action, such as handling the payment itself and sending an update notification to Ariba SN. Contact your system administrator for more information.
