A payment entry in accounting is a type of journal entry that records the payment of money to a vendor, creditor, or any other party. This entry reflects the reduction in the company's cash or bank balance and the corresponding settlement of a liability or expense. Payment entries are crucial for maintaining accurate cash flow records and ensuring that all financial obligations are properly accounted for.
