## Make Changes to a Scheduled Payment

Once scheduled, the payment will appear in the **Payments** tab where it will be routed for authorization based on the **Authorization Workflow** found under **Payment Settings**. Users will only see payments pending their authorization unless they have **Accounting Access.**

> [!WARNING]

> By scheduling payment, a user is authorizing the payment. Should the user that scheduled the payment be the sole payment authorizer, the payment will be processed on the scheduled date.

To make changes to a scheduled payment, click on the payment and then click on the field you would like to edit. You can select the **Amount Paid, Pay From, or Payment Date**. Note, to change the **Pay To** account, you need to **Delete** the payment.
