# Scheduling a make up payment

When a transaction is declined, Rotessa will not retry it automatically. You'll need to schedule a new one-time transaction to make up for the declined amount.

**Creating a new transaction manually**

1. Go to the **Customers** page of [your Rotessa account](https://client.rotessa.com/users/sign_in) and select **New**.
2. Select **New Transaction**, then **Manually**.
3. Search for and select the customer you'd like to schedule the transaction for.
4. Fill in the following fields: 
     - **Amount** — the amount you and your customer have agreed to debit.
     - **Frequency** — select **Once**.
     - **Process Date** — the date the payment will be pulled from your customer's account.
     - **Comment** — optional notes for your records, such as "Make up for declined rent" or "Retry of Invoice 0231."
5. Select **Submit**. Your transaction is now scheduled.

Note: *A transaction created in advance of the process date will have a [status](https://support.rotessa.com/transaction-status?hsLang=en) of **Future**. Transactions can only be [edited or deleted](https://support.rotessa.com/edit-or-delete-a-transaction-schedule?hsLang=en) before the status changes to **Sent to Bank**.*

**Making up for a declined invoice import**

If the declined transaction was created from an invoice imported from QuickBooks Online or Xero, you have two options:

**Option 1 — Create a new invoice in QuickBooks Online or Xero**  
Create a new invoice in [QuickBooks Online](https://support.rotessa.com/import-invoices-from-quickbooks-online?hsLang=en) or [Xero](https://support.rotessa.com/import-invoices-from-xero?hsLang=en) for the declined amount and import it into Rotessa. Note that once an invoice has been imported and processed, it cannot be re-imported; a new invoice is required.

**Option 2 — Create a manual transaction in Rotessa**  
Manually create a one-time transaction in Rotessa for the declined amount. If you go this route, you'll need to manually mark the original invoice as paid in QuickBooks Online or Xero.
