Enter a bill a supplier has sent you

The payable side of the same document pattern the customer invoices use. What you owe your suppliers, and what has been paid against it.

You need

• accounting.bills.read
• accounting.bills.create

Steps

1. Open Bills and press New bill.
2. Pick the Supplier — they have to be on Vendors first — and copy their own number into Their reference so the two of you can name the same piece of paper.
3. Set the Bill date and the Due. The due date is what puts this bill on the payables ageing later.
4. Press Add line for each line: a Description, a Qty, a Unit price and its Tax. Total follows.
5. Save. The Status starts Open and moves as you pay, with Paid kept beside it.

A bill with no lines is refused — This document has no lines. Add at least one line with a description and an amount.
