View payments by status
Note: Not all payments go through every status. For example, if you plan to pay your remittance vendor through your accounting software and select that option when you create a payment, the payment is immediately moved to the Paid status.
Go to the navigation bar and click Accounting.
In the side panel, click Payments.
Click one of the following tabs to see bills with that status:
Unpaid: Reconciled bills and credits with available balances which you need to create a payment.
Ready for Approval: Payments that you created and are ready to approve before processing.
Initiated: Approved payments that you submitted for processing.
Processing: Payments that are being prepared for the payee.
In Transit: Processed payments that you sent but have not yet been delivered to the payee.
Paid: Payments received by the payee and funds have been drawn from settlement accounts.
Canceled: Payments you canceled before you processed the payments.
