Amend or delete a pending ad hoc payment

Amending or deleting an ad hoc payment lets you correct its details or remove it entirely while the payment is still in a Pending status.

Written by Gemma Langley

Amending or deleting an ad hoc payment allows you to update the payment before it is submitted for processing. This may include correcting the amount, adjusting the due date or removing a payment that was created in error or is no longer required. These actions can only be taken while the payment remains in a Pending status.

šŸ“ŒNote: Ad hoc payments will remain in a Pending status until the payment submission deadline has passed. Once the deadline has passed, the status will change to Paid and you will no longer be able to amend or delete the payment.

šŸ“ŒNote: To amend or delete multiple payments at once, please see our guide:

The payment submission deadline can be found using our Date Calculator and ad hoc payments can be amended or deleted while they remain in the Pending stage.
