BUG - follow up - Failed bill payment followed by success

harterpk

I posted this issue originally a month ago, and promised to supply more screenshots.

I have an on-line biller for whom Quickpay payments fail from time to time, but then succeed when I retry them a couple days later. The BUG is what happens in the Bills & Income window.

When the payment fails this is reported "Payment Failed" in the B&I window. I can then click on the Quick Pay button, to resubmit the payment, and the status changes to "Processing."

When the payment succeeds, a few minutes later, I see the successful payment in the register and delete the original *Failed* payment from the register.

However, the B&I window shows nothing in the status column! It's as if nothing happened. The register still shows the correct status.

Clearly the successful status from the second attempt is erroneously linked to the failed transaction in the register and is deleted when it is.

Failure:

Retrying:

Success:

After deleting failed transaction in Register

@Quicken Anja OK, there you go.

Hello @harterpk,

To clarify, this happens only after you delete the transaction associated with the failed attempt from the payment account register in Quicken? Do you get the same result if you Void the transaction instead?

I look forward to your reply!

Hello Kristina,

That's correct. The successful status for the second QuickPay attempt disappears AFTER I delete the failed payment from my payment account register. The failed payment is marked "failed" and the amounts set to zero.

I suspect that voiding the transaction (if that's even possible) would not remove the "Paid" status from the B&I window, but I can't even try this until I get a new electric bill next month.

On the other hand, I think I've provided enough evidence so that the responsible developer could look at the code to ensure that the act of resubmitting the QuickPay deletes the linkage from the failed transaction in the register to the B&I biller list. I spent my working life as a software person, and I have a good idea how these things work.

@Quicken Kristina OK, I filed the bug report. I thought reporting things here would result in official notice being taken…
