What this page is for
A supplier payment is money actually paid out. This page lists every payment, newest first, with its supplier, how it was paid, its amount and how much of it is not yet set against an invoice. A payment is create-and-read only: once recorded it is never edited — to correct one, reverse the allocation that was wrong and record a fresh payment instead.
Everyone whose role can view purchasing sees this page. Recording a payment, and allocating or reversing it, need a role that can pay suppliers.
How to…
How to record a payment
Press Record payment, or press Record payment on the invoice it settles. See Record payment.
How to find a payment
Type in the search box, or filter by Supplier, Paid by (cash, mobile money, bank transfer or cheque) or the date it was paid.
