# Outbound Payments

An outbound payment is money paid to a vendor or employee for their vendor bills or expense reports.

A payment has one or more payment items, and each item pays one vendor bill or expense report. GET and search return the items in lines.

A payment that hasn't been executed can be changed or deleted. A payment that is 'successful', 'partiallySuccessful', or 'processing' can only be voided. Deleting or voiding a payment makes the documents it paid open again.

Payroll payments and standalone payments are outbound payments too, with their own endpoints.
