Payment release and clearance

A payment links an amount and method to a notice, return, registration or customer. Treasury Analyst checks that reference while the payment is Scheduled. The native release action writes an operation receipt before changing status to Released. Bank clearance is a separate follow-up: Treasury reviews the bank reference and records Reconciled after confirming the result.
