    A number of records are created in the system when you post a Supplier Payment or  a Payment on Account, which will reduce the balance owed to your supplier,decrease the balance in your bank account and reduce the balance of your Credits Control Account.

    When you post a Supplier Payment in Zumzum Financials, several records are created in the system to record the transaction. The Supplier Payment posting will create new records in Zumzum financials:

    Also, when a Supplier Payment is posted to the ledger, the system will create a Batch Bank Payment record in the system.

    2. Each Bank Payment Record will contain one or more Bank Payment Line Items to display one record for each Purchase Invoice Line Items that the supplier payment payment is allocated to.
