Design

The Account Payment Module introduces the following concepts:

Payment

A Payment represents an order to pay an amount to a Party <party:model-party.party> or receive an amount from a party. It may be linked to an Move Line <model-account.move.line> to deduce its Amount to Pay.

Once processed, a payment can not be changed except to be succeeded or failed.

When the Account Statement Module is activated, the payment lines linked to a statement line are marked as succeeded when the statement is validated.
