⚡Quick answer -
A payment in “suspense” lacks business or GST details, so the system’s auto-invoice is incomplete. To generate the correct invoice, you must:
- Identify the suspense transaction.
- Raise a Jira ticket for manual payment tagging.
- Email the Accounts Team (not Zoho People) once tagging is done.
- Share the Payment Settlement Code, client details, amount, date, and any proof. The invoice is issued only after successful payment tagging.
When should I use this guide?
Use these steps whenever you spot a suspense payment whose invoice is missing business or GST information and the client needs an accurate tax invoice.
Overview: What counts as a suspense payment?
Transactions in suspense will have incomplete invoice details (missing business/GST information).
These transactions require manual intervention before a correct invoice can be created.
Prerequisite: Gather required details
Before you raise a request, make sure you can supply all of the following:
• Payment Settlement Code
• Client Account Details
• Payment Amount
• Date of Transaction
• Any supporting proof (if required)
Step-by-step process
STEP 1 — IDENTIFY SUSPENSE PAYMENT
Transactions in suspense will have incomplete invoice details (missing business/GST information).
STEP 2 — MANUAL PAYMENT TAGGING
Raise a Jira ticket for manual payment tagging. Ensure the payment is correctly mapped to the respective client account.
STEP 3 — INVOICE REQUEST TO ACCOUNTS TEAM
Once tagging is completed, do not raise a request on Zoho People. Instead, directly reach out to the Accounts Team with proper justification.
STEP 4 — SHARE REQUIRED DETAILS
Provide every item listed in the Prerequisite section.
When will the invoice NOT be generated?
• Invoice will be generated only after successful payment tagging.
• Requests lacking full justification or missing any of the required details can be delayed or rejected.
• Raising the request in Zoho People instead of Jira + email will also delay processing.
