A partial supplier payment can reduce an issued bill's outstanding balance without settling it in full. Open the bill's recorded-payment workflow and select confirmed bank evidence that matches the payment direction, currency and available amount.
Compare the movement with the supplier's remittance information and the bill's current remaining balance. Where the workflow requires line and tax allocations, distribute the supported payment amount across the remaining original parts. Explain the connection in the action reason.
Recording the match does not send money. It records an existing payment and applies the supported accounting treatment. Check the saved payment history and the remaining payable afterward so the unpaid portion remains clear.
If the selected movement or document changes while you prepare the action, refresh and review current evidence. If the response is unconfirmed, retry the retained action with its original details before starting another match. Do not mark the full bill as settled merely because a supplier received one partial installment.
