Is it possible to manually change the payment status in R12? Abandoned Property Question
In 11i, we used to manually update the payment status on abandoned property checks from Negotiable to Stop Initiated and then make a journal entry between the clearing account and abandoned property on the GL. (Then later issue a check to the state from the abandoned property GL account.) We would notify the bank to remove the checks from the outstanding listing at the time that we updated the statuses.
We use grant accounting so we don't want to reverse the charges on the grants, but we need to show the checks as non-negotiable in payables.
In R12, we seem to have lost the functionality to make the status change manually. We don't want to pay fees and stop every check on the bank, only those over a certain dollar amount, so we don't really want to initiate the stops via the payment manager.
