If your bank reports a payment failure, the status on the History page will be updated to **Failed**, and the system will attempt to reverse the initial ledger entry. All ledger entries follow standard Business Central logic, using the payment method code defined on the vendor card or leaving the field blank. ::: *** ## Payment Statuses Payments that are processed through the plugin will first appear as **Pending**. Dependent on the payment method, payments may remain **Pending** for up to 5 business days after submission, after which the payment will automatically be moved to a **Completed** state. ### Processing Payment Statuses A processing status indicates that a payment has been submitted for approval and is awaiting release. - **SENT FOR PROCESSING:** Payments enter this state immediately after they have been submitted for payment via the plugin. - **PROCESSING: **Payments will enter this state once they have been approved and released. ### Terminal Payment Statuses A terminal status indicates a final state. In most cases, payments will not automatically change from these states unless intervention is applied by the support team. - **COMPLETED:** This is a final status. Some payments are marked as *autocomplete* based on the payment network's handling. This status should not change. - **FAILED:** Payments that fail to be processed enter this status. Failure can occur due to various reasons, such as initial validation issues (missing or inappropriate information) or failure within the payment network (e.g., the destination bank account is closed). - **CANCELLED:** This status indicates that the payment was rejected in the bank approval portal or cancelled directly within the platform.
