# Create payments for bills and credits in bulk

## Overview

The payment process in *Payables* helps you track payments to remittance vendors. After you [reconcile bills](/v1/docs/reconcile-bills), you can create payments for bills and credits in bulk. Use the payment record to reconcile your bank statements and to manage your business’s overall spending.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Consider paying for bills individually if you made a purchase from a vendor that you don’t do business with often. If you have multiple bills from the same vendor, you can [add the bills to a statement](/v1/docs/add-bills-to-statements) and pay the outstanding statement balance.
