You can manage common CINC VendorPay payment exceptions, including stopping, voiding, correcting, reissuing, and requesting refunds for payments processed through AvidXchange. The steps vary depending on the payment status and type, so it is important to first confirm whether the payment is a cleared check, an in-process payment, or another CINC VendorPay method before proceeding.
For CINC VendorPay check payments that have not yet cleared the bank, follow the process outlined in Making a VendorPay Stop Pay Request in CINC. For all other scenarios, use the procedures below to work with AvidXchange and CINC Support to resolve the issue.
Some of the procedures require you to contact AvidXchange. Here are the links:
