Bills (AP) — managing accounts payable

The Bills (AP) tab in Accounting is your accounts payable ledger — track money you owe to vendors.

Bill statuses:
• Draft — created but not yet approved for payment
• Approved — reviewed and ready to pay
• Processing — ACH payment initiated, awaiting settlement
• Paid — payment confirmed
• Voided — cancelled, excluded from reports

Creating a bill:
1. Go to Accounting → Bills (AP) → "+ New Bill"
2. Select the vendor, enter the amount, due date, and expense account
3. Save as Draft, then Approve when ready to pay

The bill total flows into your general ledger as an accounts payable entry. Once paid, the liability is cleared and the expense is recorded against your chart of accounts.
