# Create payments for statements

## Overview

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