Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'order' (a directive) with 'payment' (giving money): it denotes an instruction concerning a payment — essentially a command or instruction to pay a specified sum. Although somewhat formal/legal in register, the composition is regular and common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would likely infer the general meaning.
Etymology
The phrase order of payment comes from the simple image of a written order telling a bank or person to make a payment. So, it means a written paper that tells someone 'to pay' a set amount of money to a named person.
