# Creates an invoice payment

`POST /invoices/{invoice_id}/payments`

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.

## Path parameters

- `invoice_id` string, required
