Ask us How:

Businesses using QuickBooks® Online and Enterprise can now take control of real-time payment management with Request for Payment (RfP™) reject codes and RfP aging analysis. These tools allow you to identify and resolve failed RfP transactions in real time, minimizing receivables backlog and improving cash flow predictability.

Every RfP™ reject includes a standardized ISO 20022 error code—such as RJCT-102 for over-limit payments or RJCT-405 for invalid dates—making it easy to understand why a payment failed. Once fixed, our system can automatically resubmit corrected RfPs and reconcile payments in your QuickBooks® AR ledger.

With aging dashboards, merchants can visualize which RfPs are pending, rejected, accepted, or expired, enabling better follow-ups and collection processes. This real-time insight reduces manual email trails, improves billing outcomes, and helps CFOs make faster decisions.

Request for Payment (RFP) reject codes in banking transactions can vary among different financial institutions. However, I can provide you with a list of common reject codes that might be encountered during the receiving of funding transmissions. Keep in mind that you should always refer to the specific documentation provided by your bank or payment service provider for accurate and up-to-date information on reject codes.

Here are some generic examples of reject codes that could be associated with Request for Payment transactions:

  1. RF01 - Invalid Payer Information:
    • Description: The information provided for the payer in the request for payment is invalid or incomplete.
    • Action: Verify and correct payer information before resubmitting.
  1. RF02 - Insufficient Funds:
    • Description: The payer's account does not have sufficient funds to cover the requested payment.
    • Action: Inform the payer and request additional funds or an alternative payment method.
  1. RF03 - Invalid Payment Amount:
    • Description: The amount specified in the request for payment is not valid or exceeds transaction limits.
    • Action: Verify the payment amount and ensure it complies with the allowed limits.
  1. RF04 - Duplicate Transaction:
    • Description: The request for payment is a duplicate of a previously submitted transaction.
    • Action: Avoid resubmitting the same transaction; check for duplicates before initiating a new request.
  1. RF05 - Invalid Request Format:
    • Description: The format of the request for payment does not meet the required standards.
    • Action: Ensure that the request adheres to the specified format and standards.
  1. RF06 - Payment Reference Error:
    • Description: An error occurred with the payment reference or invoice number provided.
    • Action: Verify and correct the payment reference information.
  1. RF07 - Payee Account Closed:
    • Description: The payee's account is closed, preventing the payment from being processed.
    • Action: Contact the payee and request updated account information.
  1. RF08 - Bank Account Information Mismatch:
    • Description: The bank account information provided does not match the details on record.
    • Action: Verify and correct the bank account information.

These codes serve as examples, and the actual reject codes may differ based on the specific requirements of your bank or payment service provider. It's crucial to work closely with your banking partners to understand the reject codes they use and the corresponding actions to take when encountering them. Additionally, ensure that your data is cleaned and meets the necessary criteria before attempting to sync it into QuickBooks Online (QBO).
