Hi Chris I'm not sure that you can automate a payment in this way in OFBiz and I'm not sure from a business perspective that you would want to take out the manual creation of payments to suppliers (since effectively you're taking out key verification / approval step).
OFBiz can generate the purchase invoice for you if you use Order Entry to enter a Purchase Order to a supplier, then when you receive the purchase order products Ofbiz will generate a 'pro forma' invoice (which in layman's terms is 'draft Purchase Invoice' based on the Purchase Order.) so it will contain the same costs and taxes as the original purchase order. When the real Purchase Invoice arrives you can enter any adjustments (eg perhaps they gave you a discount or there was a price increase that you werent aware of) and update the pro forma invoice so that it is correct, then you can approve it and pay it. I suppose similar to the 'pro forma invoice' concept you could create a 'pro forma payment' but you'd still need some form of manual approval to ensure that the company bank account will be able bear the cost of the payment. I've been on projects where we have implemented automatic Purchase Order/Goods Received Note(GRN) and payment voucher generation for purchase orders so I know there are businesses out there that do use it.
