# Payments

What are Payments?
Payments record when a tenant has paid an invoice. This to help track and record that an invoice payment has been settled. 

What happens when I create a payment?
The linked invoice status automatically changes to Paid.

What if I delete a payment?
If you delete a payment, which Company Admins can do, the invoice status goes back to Pending.

What happens when I mark a recurring expense as paid by tenant?
The system automatically creates a Pending invoice for that tenant. It looks up the active lease on that property, grabs the vendor details, and sets the due date 15 days out.

Can I edit or delete an expense that has already been paid?
No. Once an expense is marked Paid, it is locked. You cannot update or delete it.
