# Awaiting Payment - Permits

<p class="callout info">This article describes the Permits Awaiting Payment report, a tool used to manage and communicate with users who have pending permit payments. Its primary purpose is to provide administrators with a centralized view of unpaid permit reservations and offer tools for sending payment reminders and processing payments. This guide is intended for OPSCOM administrators.</p>

- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">This report specifically targets users who have a 'promise to pay' on file (such as a pending cheque or payroll deduction) but whose payment has not yet been processed. It is a key tool for managing non-credit card transactions.</span>
- <span style="color: rgb(22, 145, 121);">You are encouraged to run this report **weekly** and send an **email reminder** for users to remit payment.</span>
