Submit payment entry
Submits a draft payment entry so it posts to the General Ledger.
MCP tool erpnext_write → submit_payment_entry
write Confirm
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
