For an accrual native bill, a recorded settlement clears the Accounts Payable control while preserving the expense treatment from issuance. Review the document's current basis and original account mapping before interpreting the settlement journal.
Select the confirmed supplier payment and compare it with the bill's outstanding balance. Record the supported match through the action available to an authorized poster. The match connects existing bank evidence to the obligation; it does not send a payment command.
If the original expense account is wrong, a settlement is not the place to silently substitute another account. Review the bill's source-owned correction path with an authorized person. Keep correction of the original charge separate from recognition that the supplier was paid.
After saving, inspect payment history and the remaining balance. For partial payments, the unpaid obligation remains. If the response was interrupted, establish the retained action's saved outcome before trying again. This preserves a clear sequence from issued supplier charge to bank settlement and any later correction.
