ACCOUNTING CONTEXT
Clarity includes
the boundaries.
A recorded payment is not evidence that money was sent. Imported payment components and available actions depend on supported mappings and permissions.
Does recording a payment send money to a vendor?
No. A ledger payment record and a bank disbursement are different events. Confirm the configured payment provider and execution workflow before making any assumption about funds movement.
