# Purchase Order Payments
Managing supplier payments is a key part of the procurement process. In Supply’d, payments for purchase orders (POs) are recorded after reconciliation, ensuring that what was ordered, received, and invoiced all align. This helps maintain accurate financial records, supports better cash-flow control, and provides clear visibility into outstanding and completed supplier payments.

## The Payments List
The **Expenses** page **Payments** tab in Supply’d is where you view and manage payments related to purchase orders. It displays a list of unpaid supplier payments, including their scheduled payment date, number of invoices, total $ amounts and status, allowing you to track outstanding payments and maintain accurate financial records.
To open the **Payments** list, select **Expenses** from the main menu, then go to the **Payments** tab.
Clicking on a date will list all payments scheduled for payment on that day. You will see the **Supplier**, **Order Number**, **Invoice Number** and the invoice **Amount**.
The **Payment Status** drop-down menu lets you filter payments to view **All**, **Unpaid**, or **Paid** payments.

**Using an ABA File**
{% hint style="success" %}
An **ABA file** is a standard Australian bank file format used to process electronic bulk payments, such as paying multiple suppliers at once. It contains payment instructions (including bank account details and amounts) that can be uploaded directly to your bank’s online system, allowing payments to be made securely and efficiently without entering each payment manually.
{% endhint %}
1. Download the ABA File - Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner. Select **Download > ABA File**.
2. Review the details including:
* Suppliers' banking details
* Total invoice amounts
* Amounts paid to date
* Outstanding balances
3. Upload/use the ABA file directly in your banking system to process payments.
4. Once payments are processed:
* If your accounting system is integrated, the payment information will sync automatically.
* Supply'd will then reflect the invoices as .
**Directly from the Accounting System**
1. If, for example, the accounting department pays invoices directly:
* **Manual update:** Mark the invoices as **Paid** in Supply'd. (Click on the 3 dots in top right, select **Mark As**, then **Paid**.)
* **Automatic update (if integrated):** status will automatically appear in Supply'd.
2. Check that the payment status in Supply'd matches the accounting system to avoid duplicate payments or discrepancies.
Once complete, the invoices will be moved to the **Completed** tab.
