books.receive_payment and books.pay_bill take applications, each document's cash with an optional discount and reason, and a customer payment may carry the processor's fee; the result names every document it settled and what reached the account. books.bills_due lists what to pay and the running total by due date. The agings take detail and return the control account's tie-out, and books.export writes ar_aging/ap_aging. The handlers live in tools/settlements.rs (the EM's split, so S4.4's documents.rs stays free); documents.rs keeps the documents, the void and the control check. docs/mcp-interface.md documents every changed tool and the new one; docs/architecture.md names the group; docs/testing.md records the tests and P12's mutation targets. Old names (document_id, cash_account) still work; the output keeps remaining/status for one document. A fee's processor is named in the description, not tagged as the entry's vendor: ledger tags are entry-wide and tagging would move the customer's party totals and 1099-NEC. The handbook's invoices-and-bills section gains the payment, discount, fee and bounce-replacement procedures (S4.5 can extend it). Over the wire: one_payment_settles_two_invoices, late_discount_needs_a_reason, a_fee_posts_gross_to_receivables_and_net_to_the_bank, card_paid_bill_is_not_1099_nec, multi_document_payment_counts_once_for_1099_and_party_totals, overpayment_refused_with_the_excess, bills_due_orders_by_due_and_discount and the_aging_export_ties_out. Terms cannot yet be journaled on a document (S4.3) and a bill line's account is not an MCP field (S4.4), so bill_on_terms_with_discount, equipment_bill_payment_is_investing_cash and the discount half of bills_due are core tests until those land; the unit's As-built block records this.

The format upgrade
- A new version of wanderbooks can keep the books in a newer journal format than the version that wrote them. Books an older version wrote wait for a format upgrade: books.start says so (format_upgrade) and puts it first among its next steps, in every session until it is done.
- Until then they work on their old format: everything that needs nothing new works as before, and whatever would need the new format is refused with format_upgrade_pending, changing nothing. Never retry it, work around it, or post it another way.
- An invoice's or bill's number, payment terms, seller and bill-to, references and memo, a line's account, quantity and unit price, the copy of an invoice kept exactly as it was issued, a party's email and default terms, and the invoicing and bills settings all wait for the documents_v2 upgrade. A document that names none of them is written exactly as before and is never refused; the work that needs one waits, and the books say so.
- Only the owner can agree to the upgrade, with the owner passphrase: in the app, which asks each time it opens the books, or with
wanderbooks books upgrade IDin a terminal. No tool can, and you never ask for, take or type the passphrase. Tell the human, in plain words: the books wait for their go-ahead, what was refused, and that saying no keeps the books working as they are. - Before it upgrades, the server makes a backup of the books, their vault and keys included, and proves it whole; a backup that can't be made or proven upgrades nothing. Then the books move to the new format in one step, on the record.
- After the upgrade an older version of wanderbooks can't open these books; the backup made first keeps them as they were. Going back is the owner's choice, never yours.
- This upgrade is
documents_v2: invoice numbers, terms and line accounts (S4), sent records (S5), payments that settle several documents with early-payment discounts and a processor's fee (S6), and write-offs (S7). Until it is given, those writes are refused and everything else works as before.
