Payments can be settled by right-click and select the "perform payment" option so the accounting department is able to check this status and activate payment as and when it is confirmed to do so. Once it's settled, a payment can be revoked by selecting the "cancel payment" option.
More information on prepaid and post-paid payments:
Prepaid - Prepaid payment related to order lines paid in advance. This kind of payment is automatically inserted when an "prepaid" order line is saved.
Post-paid - Post-paid payment related to order lines paid when used. This kind of payment is not managed for Delivery Orders' content.
