Bills

What bill statuses mean

Understand draft, unpaid, part-paid, paid, overdue and cancelled bill statuses.

Bill statuses show whether your business still owes money to a supplier.

Common bill statuses

  • Draft means the bill is being prepared.
  • Unpaid means no payment has been recorded.
  • Part-paid means some money has been paid but a balance remains.
  • Paid means the full bill amount has been paid.
  • Overdue means the bill is past its due date and still unpaid or part-paid.
  • Cancelled means the bill should no longer be treated as active.

Why statuses matter

  • They help you track supplier debts and avoid missed payments.
