Supplier Payments

Record the money you send your suppliers, bank-statement style — each payment then settles against that supplier's open purchase invoices. It is the accounts-payable mirror of Customer Payments.

Where you find it: the Purchases sidebar group. Bundled in Construction, Logistics, Retail and Wholesale; shown by the Purchase lens.

The tour in pictures

Not yet illustrated — the module has no demo companion, so a journey would picture empty lists. The pictures arrive with its -demo module (tracked in the catalog backlog).

What you can do

Supplier Payments

A payment mirrors a line on your bank statement:

• Name (required) — a short label, e.g. "Payment for PI-0000001".
• Number — the bank's transaction reference from the payment order this went out on.
• Date (required) and Valor — the booking date and the value date, as the statement shows them.
• Amount (required) and Currency.
• Counterparty IBAN and Counterparty name — who you paid, straight off the statement — plus a free-text description.
• Supplier (required) — the register entry this payment belongs to.

There is no workflow and no line items — a payment is a single record. What happens after you save it is the interesting part: the amount is allocated to that supplier's open purchase invoices, oldest invoice first, updating each invoice's Paid/Balance and flipping its status to PARTIAL or PAID. Only genuinely payable invoices take part — APPROVED and PARTIAL ones; a DRAFT or CANCELLED invoice is never touched, and money left over after the open invoices are covered simply stays unallocated until you book the next one. That allocation side — including manual allocations — is documented with the invoices, in Purchase Invoices.

Reports & dashboard

None of its own — the paid/outstanding payable picture lives in the purchase-invoices reports.

Settings

Nothing — the module adds no Settings-page entries.

Shipped data

a new company starts with no payments. There is no -demo companion yet, so a trial has no sample supplier payments.

Works together with

• Suppliers — every payment names its supplier; Currencies — the payment's currency.
• Purchase Invoices — payments auto-allocate to the supplier's open purchase invoices (matching supplier and currency, via the PurchaseInvoicePayment n:m allocation) and drive the PARTIAL/PAID statuses.
