1. Go to the Payables work center.
2. Go to the Supplier Accounts view.
3. Search for the respective supplier account and select view.
4. Select the open supplier invoice and choose Pay Manually By > Other Payment Methods.
5. When the payment method "Cash" is selected, the error "cash is not a valid value for this field. Enter a valid value." appears.

The error occurs because the system expects only the payment methods Outgoing Check, Outgoing Bank Transfer or Wire Transfer as a valid value while trying to maintain payment method as Cash in the New Payment screen.

At times, payment for goods or services is required to be made in cash and it can be done as follows:

1. Go to the Payment Management work center.
2. Go to the Petty Cash view.
3. Select New > Outgoing Cash Payment - Reference to Items.
4. Enter the relevant supplier in the Payee field.
5. The open items are then displayed in the Open Items table. Open items to be paid can be selected by setting the Matched indicator next to the desired entries.
6. Choose Post.
7. Now, the supplier invoice is cleared with this outgoing cash payment, and the status of the invoice will change to 'Paid'.
