Create Payment

Creates a payment and allocates it to one or more bills. An allocation can carry wht_tax_id and wht_base to withhold tax when paying the vendor. amount on the payment and on each allocation is the gross amount settled against the bills. The cash leaving the payment account is the gross amount less the total withholding, and the withheld amount is credited to withholding tax payable. When a bill carries an early-payment discount and the payment is dated on or before the discount deadline, an allocation that falls short of the bill’s balance by no more than the discount settles the bill in full. The shortfall is reported as discount_amount on the allocation and credited to Other Income.

Requires the can_create_payment permission on the key owner’s role.
