Local transfer can help companies to send money to up to 1000 beneficiaries/bank accounts in one transaction real-time. When it comes to Local Transfers, accuracy and attention to detail are crucial. However, sometimes we need to edit some of the beneficiary data or even cancel it. How can we do that? There are two things you have to know about editing or canceling your submitted Local Transfer transaction: 

After Drafter Creates a Transaction

In Local Transfers, it is not possible to edit the transaction once it has been submitted. If any changes are urgently required, the Approver can reject the transaction, and Drafter needs to begin the process anew. 

Otherwise, Drafter can cancel a submitted Local Transfer request, but only within a specific timeframe. The cancellation window remains open until before the Releaser releases the funds for the transfer or you can cancel your submitted transaction before the Transaction Status changes to In Progress. It's crucial to act promptly if you wish to cancel a transaction, as once the funds are released, cancellation becomes no longer possible.

As a Releaser, you also have the ability to cancel Local Transfer requests in the 'Scheduled' and 'Payment Delayed' states only. You can find more information on how to cancel scheduled payments in this article.
