Payments to suppliers

Record money paid out and settle the correct supplier bills.

Record the payment

  1. Open Purchases → Payments → New. On a phone, use Create → Payment.
  2. Check Party and Amount. Enter the amount actually paid.
  3. Choose Cash or Bank, then the Payment Method for the account the money left.
  4. Check Posting Date, Ref. / Cheque No. and Reference Date.
  5. Expand the bills section and check the purchase invoice allocation. Keep a part-payment below the remaining bill amount.
  6. Choose Save, confirm Yes, then Submit and confirm.

To start from a particular submitted purchase invoice, choose its Create → Payment action, or tap Make payment at the bottom on a phone. It supplies the supplier and bill. On a computer the quick form uses Save Payment and Submit Payment.

Check the supplier balance

Check the submitted payment’s Settled bills summary. Open Purchases → Supplier Ledger for the supplier and date range, or reopen the bill to check its outstanding amount.

Paying a supplier does not enter another purchase invoice. Record the bill once and the payment once. Print or share the payment voucher if a copy is needed.

If your company uses Save & Submit, that button combines the draft-save and submission steps. Review the confirmation before continuing.
