Payment
The Payment screen is a streamlined payment entry form for issuing outgoing payments via cheque, card, or online transfer. It supports three payment types: Quick Pay (direct GL account allocation), Pay Vendor (allocate against open vendor invoices), and Pay Customer (refund against open customer credits). For full cheque management with invoice-level discount tracking and cheque printing, use the Cheque Master. Access from Cheque Book › Vendor Cheques.
