Register a payment
Register a payment on a posted invoice through the Pay window.
MCP tool odoo_write → register_payment
write Confirm
Fills the Pay window and clicks Create Payment. The invoice shows In payment afterwards and becomes Paid once the payment is reconciled with a bank transaction. The call fails if the invoice is a draft or already Paid. Only invoicing users can register payments. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
