Bills (Accounts Payable)

Bills track money you owe to vendors. Each bill goes through a workflow: Draft → Approved → Paid.

To create a bill:
1. Go to Accounting → Bills (AP)
2. Click "+ New Bill"
3. Select the vendor, bill date, and due date
4. Add line items: for each line, choose an expense account and enter an amount
5. Click "Save Bill" to save as a draft

Bill workflow:
• Draft — saved but not yet committed. You can edit a draft bill.
• Approved — reviewed and ready to pay. Approving locks the bill for editing.
• Paid — payment has been recorded. A journal entry is automatically created debiting the expense accounts and crediting Accounts Payable.
• Voided — cancelled. Voided bills remain for audit history.

To approve: expand a draft bill and click "Approve".
To record payment: expand an approved bill and click "Pay".
To void: expand any non-paid bill and click "Void".

Use the status filter bar to quickly switch between All, Draft, Approved, Paid, and Voided views.
