What are the different Invoice status under 'Bill Payments'?
After you’ve initiated the payment, you will notice the sections for ‘Unpaid’, ‘Paid’, and ‘Archived’ invoices or bills.
Unpaid: This is where any draft bills will be saved. You can Pay the bill, manually, mark the bill as paid, or archive the bill for later purposes. Archived bills can be made a draft again at any time. This will also be where scheduled bills live until the scheduled bill is paid. You will also notice different status of each bill under the ‘unpaid’ tab, based on the status of the bill. See below for an example:
Paid: All invoices or bills that have been 100% paid in full, or if the bill has been marked as manually paid.
Archived: Where any bill that was manually archived will live. Archived bills can be made a draft again at any time.
If you click into a certain invoice, you will have the bill details and the ability to see the payment activity. This includes the date the bill was initiated and any future scheduled payment dates.
