Paying a Supplier
When a purchase has a Partial or Pending payment status, the outstanding amount appears as a payable due. Here's how to record a payment to the supplier.
Method 1 — From the purchase
- Open the purchase from the Purchases list
- Click Add Payment
- Enter the amount being paid
- Select payment method and bank account
- Add a reference number if needed (cheque number, UTR)
- Click Save
Method 2 — From the Dues page
- Go to Dues in the sidebar
- Click the Purchases tab
- Find the supplier's outstanding bill
- Click Add Payment
- Fill in payment details and save
What happens
- If payment clears the full remaining balance → status changes to Paid
- If partial → status stays Partial with updated remaining amount
- The payment is recorded in the Payments ledger and linked to the purchase
Viewing all supplier dues
Go to Dues → Purchases to see all outstanding amounts across all suppliers in one view. You can filter by supplier to see only one supplier's outstanding bills.
tip
If you pay a supplier via bank transfer, add the UTR number as the payment reference. This makes it easy to reconcile with your bank statement later.
