# Supplier debts
purchase invoice, payment deadline and method, supplier settlement.
After a purchase invoice has been received, the company must verify the information it contains, including the agreed payment terms and method. It then records the invoice in its accounting system. Finally, it proceeds to pay the supplier according to the defined terms.
## Purchase invoice
A purchase invoice is a document sent by a supplier to a company detailing the goods or services sold, as well as the amount to be paid.
Here, the company **MASOCIETE** had an urgent need for fabrics to complete an order for a potential customer. To meet this need, it placed an order with its usual supplier, **BELGIUM TEXTILE.** The latter then issued a purchase invoice based on the order:
**Item:** 200 fabrics
**Unit price:** 12 euros
**Total:** 2,400 euros
## Implementation
To create a purchase invoice, go to **Purchase > Supplier Invoice > Purchase Invoices**. Fill out the invoice according to the order.
Now **save** the invoice.
## Payment deadline and method
In this case, it is the supplier who determines the payment deadline and method, as they issue the invoice according to their own terms and conditions.
Once the purchase invoice has been issued, the payment terms should be checked and recorded. To avoid any confusion or delays, **BELGIUM TEXTILE** specifies on the invoice that **payment** is to be made by **bank transfer,** with p**ayment due upon ordering.**
## **Implementation**
If you are the supplier, to enter the Payment Method and Payment deadline, stay in the invoice form and go to **\[Payment]**. Choose the Payment **Method** and Payment **deadline.**
Of course, you have to **save**.
## Supplier Payment
A supplier payment is the amount paid by the company to its supplier, according to the chosen or predefined payment method, in exchange for goods or services provided to it, in accordance with its supplier order and within a period set by the supplier.
After validating the invoice and payment terms, **MASOCIETE** can proceed with payment to its supplier.
The invoicing service of the company MASOCIETE now processes the supplier payment after receiving the purchase invoice with the payment **mode** and **deadline** already set by **BELGIUM TEXTILE.**
## **Implementation**
To create a supplier payment, go to **Cash flow > Outflow Management > Supplier Payment.**
Select the **Supplier\*** to whom you need to make a payment, specify the **Bank Account\***, check the supplier payment line you want to pay, and **the Amount\*** to be transferred will be filled in automatically.
Don't forget to **save.**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://doc.simax.fr/documentation-simax-anglais/functional/cashflow/supplier-debts.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
