Record a supplier bill payment

Read the steps
  1. Choose the paying account, apply the payment to the bill and verify its paid status. This records the payment in the books.

Keep the supplier document and its accounting together

A bill records what you owe a supplier; an expense records the appropriate purchase transaction in its own context. Choose the correct document type, vendor, dates and account or product references. Supported document processing can assist with extraction and classification, while the saved source attachment remains available for review.

Connect purchasing, tax and payment without merging them

A warehouse receipt and a supplier bill can refer to the same purchase but describe different events. Use the relevant order links and verify billing progress separately from receiving. Country-specific tax and registration-date rules affect reporting, while paying a bill belongs to the payment workflow. This separation makes missing documents and unpaid balances easier to investigate.

What to know before you start

Supplier document numbers belong to the counterparty. Correct tax treatment and registration dates still require review; recording a bill does not authorize a bank payment.

Practical questions

Can AI help record a supplier PDF?

Supported PDFs and images can enter the document-processing workflow. Review the result and any unresolved classification or tax questions.

Does receiving goods mean the bill is already recorded?

No. Receiving and supplier billing are distinct records and progress dimensions.
