Understanding a bill card
Understanding a bill card
Each bill on the Bills page is shown as a card.
The card gives you the key information without opening the full bill.
Bill number
The bill number identifies the bill.
For example:
Bill #69
This makes it easier to refer to the bill later.
Status badge
The status badge tells you whether the bill is unpaid, part paid, paid, overdue, draft, or cancelled.
File attached badge
If you see a Bill file attached badge, it means the bill has an uploaded file.
This could be a receipt photo, PDF invoice, scanned bill, or other document.
Supplier
The supplier name shows who the bill came from.
For example:
Essential Oils Nairobi
Expense category
The expense category shows how the bill cost is grouped for reporting.
For example:
- Rent
- Stock purchases
- Packaging
- Utilities
- Transport
Bill date
The bill date shows when the bill or supplier purchase was recorded.
Due date
The due date shows when the bill should be paid.
If there is no due date, the page may show a dash.
Balance due
The balance due shows how much is still unpaid.
This is one of the most important figures on the bill card.
Total
The total shows the full value of the bill before payments.
Paid
The paid amount shows how much has already been paid.
Discount
The discount shows any reduction applied to the bill.
Payments
The payments count shows how many payments have been recorded against the bill.
If the payments count is zero, no payments have been recorded.
