Ok, to be very exacting here, a payment goes from Money to your bank to the
payee. Not directly from Money to the payee. And a payment in Money is linked
to a record at your bank. The link is a value like this '10293847' and is
nothing more than an ID in a database. The only way I know to see these ID
values is at the moment you sent the payment from Money to your bank, a list
is displayed.
Your bank will be able to verify the payment better than Money can. In Money,
an e-payment will have the status 'Cleared' (or Reconciled) when your bank
acknowledges the payment. "Acknowledges the payment" is the key here, it
means the bank got the instruction from your Money client and processed it.
It does not mean the payment reached the payee. That is as far as Money takes
it in the payment processing cycle, because there is no means for a payee to
acknowledge back to the bank, and the bank to acknowledge back to your money
client, that a payment was affirmatively received. For that proof you need to
talk to your bank. In my experience, banks differ in how they are able to
prove this.
