# Process one payment
## Before you start
To process manual payments in this window, a payment method is required. Please note that a payment method created using the **Create batch payment** option will not be visible in this window.
You can also process payments without AutoPay in the [Manual payments (AP30200S)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/manual-payments-ap30200s/) window, see: [Process several payments](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/process-payments/process-several-payments/).
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 **Payment**.
1. In the **Date** field, select the date of the payment.
1. In the **Supplier** field, select a supplier.
1. In the **Payment method** field, select a payment method that you have created for manual payments.
1. In the **Cash account** field, select a cash account.
1. Optional: In the **Description** field, enter a description. This field is not mandatory, but the payment will be easier to locate if you have your own description for it.
1. Optional: In the **Payment ref.** field, enter a reference if you are prompted to and if the field is not filled in automatically.
1. In the **Payment amount** field, enter the paid amount.
1. In the **Financial period** field, select a financial period.
1. On the **Documents to apply** tab, click .
1. In the **Document type** column, add the document type related to this payment.
1. Select **Voucher no.**.
1. Optional: If you need to add more documents to this payment, click  and repeat steps 10 - 12.
1. Click .
1. Click **Release**.
Both the payment and the purchase invoice are now in status **Closed**. You can find the batch number and other information on the **Application history** tab.
## 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/).
