For a cash-basis native bill, the recorded-payment workflow uses confirmed allocations to the original lines and tax to determine recognition. Review the current document's treatment before matching a payment, especially when it covers only part of the bill.
Compare each available part with the source and existing payments or credits. Allocate the full supported bank amount across the eligible remaining parts as required by the form. Do not assume that a partial payment has the same allocation as the original full bill.
The bank evidence must still match the currency, direction and available balance. A correct accounting allocation cannot establish that the supplier actually received money; that fact comes from the existing confirmed movement being matched.
Inspect the saved settlement and remaining parts after recording. If a credit already reduced an unpaid, unrecognized portion, the same amount may no longer be available for payment recognition. Refresh when activity changes and use the supported correction workflow if an earlier allocation was wrong rather than changing the original bill to hide the difference.
