# Creates an invoice payment

`POST /invoices/{invoice_id}/payments`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.rillet.com`
- URL: `https://api.rillet.com/invoices/{invoice_id}/payments`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/rillet/apis/rillet-accounting-api/docs/invoices/:invoice_id/payments/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Records a manual cash receipt against an open invoice by amount, effective date, and a GL account code that maps to a funded cash account.
Rillet resolves the account code to a cash account before posting, so verify chart-of-accounts mapping when automations fail validation.
