Accounting → Payables → AP Payments lists every payment made to vendors ("Manage accounts payable payments") — the money-out mirror of AR Payments.

The AP Payments list — vendor payments with method, check number, reference, amount, and status

Columns

Payment #, Date, Method, Check #, Reference, Amount, Status. Search with "Search payments..." or filter by status.

Statuses

Pending → Approved → Processed → Cleared, plus Returned.

The Pay Bills flow

Recording a vendor payment is the Pay Bills form (route /accounting/ap/payments/pay):

  1. Pick the Vendor — their open bills load below.
  2. Fill Payment Date, Payment Method, the check/reference numbers, the Amount, the Bank Account the money leaves from, and an optional memo.
  3. Allocate in Bill Allocations — auto-apply oldest-first or type each amount yourself.
  4. Check the Payment Summary and Save Payment.

Each allocated bill moves to Partial or, at full balance, Paid.

Row menu

A payment's row menu lists View Details, Approve (on Pending), Process (on Pending or Approved), and Void — but these entries are currently inactive placeholders on the list. Per-payment actions (apply credit, mark a returned payment, void) are done from the AP payment detail page.
