Creating a Purchase Payment
Updated 31 October 2026
A Purchase Payment is always created against an invoice. There are three ways to create one:
- from the invoice, with the Pay button (below);
- for several invoices at once, with Bulk Pay. See Creating a Bulk Purchase Payment;
- while reconciling the bank, with Matched to Invoice.
Create a Purchase Payment from the invoice
- Open Aedon.Purchases, click the Purchase Invoices tab and open the posted invoice.
- Click Pay.
- In the Create Payment window, check the Date, Currency Exchange Rate and Amount(1). The amount defaults to the balance outstanding; change it to make a part payment.
- Choose the Bank Account you paid from and, if necessary, add a Payment Reference(2).
- Click Pay(3).
Aedon creates and posts a Purchase Payment against the invoice and reduces its Balance Outstanding. You can see the payment on the invoice’s Payment & Audit History tab. When the payment shows on your bank statement, reconcile it with Match to Payment.
