# Match a credit note before payment with AutoPay
1. Go to the [Supplier payments (AP302000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-payments-ap302000/) window.
1. In the **Type** drop-down list, select **Purchase credit note**.
1. In the **Voucher no.** field, choose the purchase credit note to match with a purchase invoice. Ensure the selected adjustment has the **Open** status.
1. On the **Documents to apply** tab, click  to add the purchase invoice related to this purchase credit note.
In the **Reference no.** column, add an open invoice to your purchase credit note.
1. In the **Payment amount** field, check if the payment amount is lower or higher than the purchase invoice amount:
1. If it is lower, it is still an amount left to pay on the invoice.
1. If it is higher, you can use that amount to match another invoice.
1. Click .
1. Click **Release**.
The purchase credit note is now closed and if there is still a balance on the purchase invoice, you can now pay it.
## What is next?
You do not have to do the other steps in this work process once you have followed these instructions and the payment has been released.
The reason for this is that in Visma Net, the [default setting for the supplier ledger is a combined post and release action](/visma-net-erp/help/cash-management/configure-cash-accounts/activate-automatic-post-and-release-for-purchase-documents/). This means that when you release the payment, both the payment and the purchase invoice will be posted and closed in the general ledger.
However, if the default settings for post and release have been changed (the **Do not automatically release supplier payments** check box is selected), you must post the payment transactions to the general ledger: [Update the general ledger with manual payments](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/process-purchase-invoices/post-documents-to-the-general-ledger-manually/).
