Submits a draft payment entry so it posts to the General Ledger.

ERPNext API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/erpnext.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/erpnext/payment-entry/submit`

Access: write. Confirm: waits for the user's OK before it runs.

Moves a draft Payment Entry to submitted. Submitting creates the General Ledger entries: debit to Bank or Cash, credit to the customer receivable. The allocated invoices then show Partly Paid or Paid. To reverse it, cancel the entry in ERPNext. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `payment_entry` | string | yes | Payment Entry ID from list_payment_entries or create_payment_entry. |

## For AI agents: sign your user up

Is your user asking you to sign them up for Cotlet? You can do it for them, no account or key needed.

1. Read the fields and their allowed values: GET https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests
2. Ask the user for each value: email, apps, what you will do with them. If they leave the password to you, generate a strong one and show it to them.
3. Show the user what you will send, then POST it as JSON to https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/access-requests.

One call creates the account and sends the access request; we email the user when access is granted.
