Working with payment proposals
Payment proposals can be created in two ways:
- Automatically, using filters and options (see Creating payment proposals).
- Manually, by creating a blank payment proposal (described in this article).
This article explains how to create empty payment proposals and how to review and edit existing ones.
For more information on how to manually fill an empty payment proposal card, see the Manually extending payment proposals article.
To edit and review payment proposals
The Payment Proposals page shows all proposals that have been created but not yet posted.
From this page, you can:
- Open and edit proposals
- Review amounts and payment details
- Navigate to related payment lines
- Delete proposals (if status is Open)
