# Understand the Auto-Batching Failed Payments email

## Overview

The *Auto-Batching Failed Payments* email is sent whenever certain payments fail to auto-Batch. The email contains the list of transactions that did not auto-batch and the reasons why the auto-batch did not occur. Here are some common reasons why your auto-batching payments failed.

## Payment manually posted

The transaction was manually posted or exported before the auto-batching process ran. To avoid getting auto-batching errors, avoid manually batching transactions if you are using the auto-batching process.

## Transaction with a positive amount not found

The transaction was deleted or processed outside of ServiceTitan. You can locate transaction details in ServiceTitan Gateway. Contact [fintechsupport@servicetitan.com](mailto:fintechsupport@servicetitan.com) for help with your login credentials.

## Transaction with a negative amount not found

The transaction is a refund and needs to be manually batched. When you process a refund through ServiceTitan, an authorization code is not generated at the time of the refund. This causes the system to not be able to place the refund in the auto-batch process. You can locate transaction details in ServiceTitan Gateway. Contact [fintechsupport@servicetitan.com](mailto:fintechsupport@servicetitan.com) for help with your login credentials.

## Membership billing

In some cases, you may receive an auto-batching email when processing transactions related to memberships. Membership billing creates separate batches for successful, failed, and unattempted payments. Once the actual auto-batching process is run, the payments are transferred to the correct auto-batch. Due to this, you can disregard the email.

## Duplicate auto-batching configuration

Your account has both the **Auto-Batching (ACC RE)** and **Enable auto batching of ST Payments** configurations enabled. When both configurations are active, two separate systems attempt to batch the same payment. If one system batches the payment first, the other system fails and sends a failure email.

To resolve this, disable one of the two auto-batching configurations. Contact your account administrator or ServiceTitan [Technical Support](http://go.servicetitan.com/ask) for help identifying which configuration to keep enabled.
