Pay the vendor bill
-
Open an Open or Partially paid vendor bill.
-
Select Make payment.
-
Select the Payment account and enter a memo when needed.
-
Review the bill under Applied transactions. Adjust the amount applied or available discount when needed.
-
In Accounting, review the Posting period and Accounts payable account.
-
Select Save as draft or Submit.
A draft or pending-approval payment does not change the bill’s posting balance. The payment posts immediately after submission when approval is not required, or after it is approved when approval is required. QuickStart then reduces the bill’s amount due. A partial payment changes the bill to Partially paid; a payment of the remaining balance changes it to Paid in full.
The posted payment debits accounts payable and credits the selected payment account. Any eligible discount taken is included in the payment’s accounting impact.
