A supplier payment can cover more than one open bill. Use the recorded-payment matching workflow to review the existing movement and the eligible documents. The action records allocation of money already paid; it does not initiate a new transfer.
Check the supplier, currency, payment direction and remaining document balances. Use the supplier's remittance evidence to determine which bills the payment covers rather than assigning it solely by matching totals. Confirm the exact supported amount for each obligation.
Review any required line and tax allocation before recording the match. The available balance of the bank movement and the remaining obligations constrain the amounts. If an expected bill is unavailable, investigate its current state and prior settlements instead of forcing the payment onto another bill.
After confirmation, inspect the resulting document balances and retained match history. If part of a payment represents an advance, use the dedicated supported advance workflow where eligible rather than creating an unrelated bill to consume the difference. Keep the remittance reference with the reason so another reviewer can follow the allocation.
