The practical details

Bills and expenses FAQs

Open a question to explore the workflow.

01Does Purchases cover both bills and expenses?

Yes. Purchases handles supplier bills and business expenses. Choose the record type that matches each transaction, rather than treating every payment out as the same kind of purchase.

02Can it change anything without me?

No. A scanned bill is saved as a draft. It reaches your books only when someone approves it, and if the same supplier bills the same amount (£50 or more) twice within a week, you get a possible-duplicate alert.

03Does entering a bill mean it's been paid?

No. A bill and its payment are separate records. The bill stays outstanding until the payment is recorded and matched to it.
