Create or edit payment [in-depth guide]

Guide contents: Create payment | Edit payment

Typically, payments are created using the select invoices for payment method. That can be found via Menu > Purchasing > Select invoices for payment screen. However, there may be times when a unique payment will need to be created that is not connected to a vendor invoice.
NOTE: Payments can only be created for vendors

NOTE: Once a payment is 'cleared' in account reconciliation, it is locked down & can't be edited, other than the Memo field on the header & the Exclude from 1099 at the line level.

In order to edit a payment:

1) Open account reconciliation

2) Unpost payment

Once the above is completed you will be able to edit any of the fields below
