Record a payment to a supplier against one or more open bills.

MYOB API: https://cotlet.dev/docs/api/myob.md

`POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/myob/suppliers/{supplier_id}/bill-payments`

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

Records the payment as Purchases > Record supplier payment does and returns the amount applied to each bill with its new balance. It pays from a bank account and does not select Electronic payment, so MYOB sends no money to the supplier. Set send_remittance to email a remittance advice now. An amount above the open bills makes MYOB create a debit note. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `supplier_id` | string | yes | Supplier card ID, e.g. SUP000004. |
| `bank_account` | string | yes | Account code from list_bank_accounts, the account the money came in to or goes out of. |
| `date` | date | no | Payment date. Default: today. |
| `payments` | array | yes | Objects with bill_number, amount and optional discount. Start with the oldest bill. |
| `send_remittance` | boolean | no | Email a remittance advice now. Default: false. |

## 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.
