Overview

If a vendor does not cash a check, the system automatically handles it.


Standard Timeline

  • Check is issued and mailed
  • Vendor has up to 90 days to deposit it
  • If not cashed → the payment is refunded to the HOA

This follows AvidXchange’s standard check aging process


What You’ll See

  • Payment marked as issued
  • Then later updated as refunded
  • Refund appears in reporting

Common Reasons Checks Aren’t Cashed

  • Vendor lost the check
  • Incorrect mailing address
  • Vendor prefers electronic payments

What You Should Do

  • Contact the vendor
  • Confirm mailing details
  • Reissue payment if needed (preferably via ACH)
