Resolving PCSP Payment Validation Issues
When the provider submits a payment, it must pass a number of payment validations before being passed on to the support coordinator for approval. The same validations are run at the moment the provider submits the payment, when the support coordinator approves the payment and when the DSPD payment tech approves the payment.
Neither the support coordinator or the DSPD payment can change any of the data on the payment. Every item on the payment must be correct in order for the support coordinator to approve it.
If the support coordinator can correct the reason why the payment failed the validation, they should do so and then approve it. Otherwise, they should reject the payment.
Below are a set of payment error messages accompanied by their recommended solution:
