COM94031 - Payments: payments work lists: payments in suspense list (LSUP) (Action Guide)
To deal with cases on the Payments in Suspense List in the CT Unit Cumbernauld, consider steps 1 - 8 below. The guide is presented as follows.
Steps 1 - 5 Action when case first appears on the work list
Step 7 Where the payment is not proper to COTAX
Step 8 Where the payment was made in error
Action when case first appears on the work list
1. Use function LSUP (Payments In Suspense List) to display the work list and:
- select the entry that you want to work
- select the [View] button to see all available details for the case.
2. Use function VPPD (View Payment and Posting Details) screens COT215D and COT215E to find any outstanding COTAX liability for this company against which you can allocate the payment.
3. If you find outstanding COTAX liability or an overdue AP, use function REAW (Direct Reallocation Within COTAX) to reallocate the payment to the correct AP.
For more information see COM122000 onwards and note that if you reallocate to an overdue AP for which there is no charge, you should use function RAPP (Revise AP Pursuit) to inhibit automatic repayment and reallocation on the receiving AP first.
4. If you cannot find a COTAX AP against which to allocate the payment, review the payslip and any associated papers received with the payment.
5. If the payslip or correspondence shows that the payment has been allocated to the wrong company record:
- use function TRCT (Trace Taxpayer) to find the correct COTAX reference
- use function REAW (Direct Reallocation Within COTAX) option 02, to reallocate the payment to the correct company reference. For more information see COM122000 onwards.
The case is automatically deleted when the payment is reallocated.
Write to the companies if appropriate to explain what you have done.
