Record what customers pay and what you pay vendors, and link each payment to its invoice for accurate reconciliation.
Path: Accounting ← Customers ← Invoices (open the invoice) ← Register Payment
- Open the invoice and confirm its status is Posted — you cannot pay a draft invoice.
- Click Register Payment at the top of the invoice to open the payment dialog.
- Choose the correct Journal: Bank or Cash depending on how you received the money.
- Select the Payment Method (Manual / bank transfer), set the Payment Date, and put the reference in the Memo.
- For a partial payment, edit the Amount to the actual amount received in SAR; the remaining balance stays due on the invoice.
- Click Create Payment; Odoo posts the payment entry and reconciles it against the invoice automatically.
- Confirm the payment badge changes to Paid or Partially Paid at the top of the invoice.
- To match an existing unlinked payment, open the invoice and under Outstanding Credits click Add next to the payment.
