Record the amount you actually paid and leave any remaining supplier balance outstanding.

1. Open the bill’s history

Find the bill under Purchases → Bills. Open Actions → Report to review History and check whether the payment is already recorded.

2. Choose Record payment

Use the bill’s Actions → Record Payment, or choose Record Payment under Purchases → Payments Made. Check the vendor and bill balance.

The payment form identifies the vendor and bill separately from the payment details.

3. Enter the actual payment

Enter Amount Paid and Payment Date. Review Currency, Payment Method, and Paid From. Add a Reference if needed. For a partial payment, enter only what you paid.

4. Save and check

Save, then review History and the remaining bill balance. Do not record an unpaid remainder as another payment; a genuine vendor reduction belongs in Vendor Credits.
