Record a payment to a supplier and reduce your outstanding payable balance.
4 min read
When you pay a supplier, you record a bill payment. This reduces the Accounts Payable balance for that supplier and decreases your bank or cash account.
- 1Go to Purchasing → Pay Bills and click New.
- 2Select the supplier. Their outstanding bills appear automatically.
- 3Select the bills being paid. Partial payment is allowed.
- 4Choose the payment method (bank transfer, cheque, cash) and the bank account funds are drawn from.
- 5Set the payment date and confirm. The bill status changes to Paid or Partially Paid.
Use Payment Vouchers (under Accounts) for payments that need a formal approval workflow — for example, large or non-routine payments.
