Ans) When the system recovers, use the payment batches window to determine the status of the payment batch. We can then either restart the payment batch, or we can cancel the payment batch.

Q) How do i know if an invoice is not paid in a payment batch because the total payment for this supplier site is under the minimum payment or over the maxmimum payment amount that i defined for the payment batch?
Ans) Payables identifies these unpaid invoices on the preliminary payment register.

Q) When i cancel a payment batch, is there anything else i need to do to make the selected invoices available for payment in a future payment batch?
