grouped into a single payment if you do not enable this feature, each paid bill is treated as a unique, separate payment this results in multiple payments being created and, consequently, multiple remittance emails being sent to the vendor faqs how long do bills stay on the history page? bills never leave the history page as long as there is a working sync between intacct and the plugin, you should be able to see your paid bills why do i see multiple instances of the same bill on the history page? if you pay a bill with partial payments, the same bill will appear multiple times on the history page similarly, if a bill has failed and has been repaid, it will also appear in multiple payments on the history page how many bills per page? the plugin shows 200 bills per page you are only able to pay one page at a time why do i receive an error 'you do not have the permissions for operation read by query on object of type locationentity'? this is because you are missing the entities permissions on the role/user navigate to company > role > subscriptions and add the entities permissions view i deleted a bill in the plugin, and i want it to appear again how can i do that? if you modify anything on the bill record, it should be picked up again and appear on the pay page of the plugin why am i not able to pay a bill that i created by duplicating an old bill i paid previously through the bank plugin? when a bill is paid through our bank plugin, certain custom fields on the bill record, such as transaction ids and statuses, are automatically filled in and are uneditable duplicating these bills will copy over the contents of those custom fields into the new bill, potentially causing payment failures
