A supplier bill is the accounting record of what you owe a supplier. It posts to Accounts Payable in the general ledger and appears in the payable aging report.

  1. 1Go to Purchasing → Bills and click New, or open a receipt and click Create Bill.
  2. 2Enter the supplier's invoice number and invoice date (this drives aging).
  3. 3Review line items and amounts — they carry over from the receipt.
  4. 4If the bill requires approval, submit to workflow. Otherwise post directly.
  5. 5The bill appears in the Accounts Payable aging report once posted.

Posting a bill is irreversible. To correct it, raise a Debit Note (purchase return) to reverse the relevant lines.
