How do I record a payment?

Pick the invoice, the amount fills itself in. A double allocation is refused before it can reach the books.

1. Open Record payment.
2. Pick the customer or supplier; the list shows which side they are.
3. Pick the invoice from their open ones; the amount fills itself in.
4. Save. The journal entry is written the moment you save.

Paying a supplier is faster from the report: open Outstanding creditors, click the supplier, see every open bill with its remaining balance, and the pay link opens the form pre-filled.

Made a mistake? Marking an invoice unpaid reverses its payment, as long as its tax has not been settled to the tax office yet.
