What is a Bill?

A bill is a notice of payment sent from vendors and also serves as a document of received goods. Bills can be generated from item receipts or entered manually.

The bill contains essential information that prompts you to make the payment, including:

• Details of the goods and/or services purchased

• The cost of the goods and/or services

• Payment terms

• The balance due for payment

Bills assume different statuses as they move through the payment process, signifying their position in the payment cycle. This enables you to monitor progress and make informed decisions.

Bill Statuses

• Open: This status indicates that the bill has no prepayments, payments, deposits, or credits applied to it.

• Partially Paid: If the bill is partially paid and there is an outstanding balance yet to be paid, the bill's status becomes "Partially Paid."

• Paid: This status indicates that the bill has been paid in full.
