Vendor bills should be entered with enough detail for a reviewer to approve or reject them without chasing missing context.

What this guide helps you do

• Create a bill for a vendor expense.
• Attach or reference supporting details when available.
• Prepare bills with AI while leaving approval and payment separate.

Before you start

• Know the vendor, amount, currency, due date, invoice number, and expense reason.
• Check whether the bill already exists.
• Have supporting documents or notes ready.

Do it manually

1. Open Money and choose Pay Bills.
2. Click the action to add a vendor bill.
3. Select or enter the vendor.
4. Enter amount, due date, invoice number, memo, and supporting details.
5. Save the bill as a draft or submit for approval according to your process.
6. Confirm the bill appears in Pay Bills with the correct status.
