Where to Go

  1. Go to the left-hand menu.

  2. Click Accounting > Bill.

  3. Then click Bills from the top and select Create New

  4. You'll see two options:

    Upload bill – Use this if you have a bill file (PDF, image, etc.) to upload.

    Manual entry – Use this to enter all the bill details manually.


     

  5. Choose the option that works best for you!

  • Vendor Name: Choose the vendor you're paying (for example, office supplies or maintenance service).

  • Bill Date: The date the bill was issued.

  • Due Date: When the payment is due.

  • Type: Select "Bill".

  • Cash/Accrual: Choose your accounting method; Cash or Accrual.


     

2. Enter References (Optional)

  • Driver, Load, Truck, Trailer: You can leave these blank if the expense is not related to a specific trip.

  • MC Number / Invoice ID / Notes: Add any internal notes or references if needed.

Under the Bills section:

  • Nature: Select the type of expense (e.g., Office Rent, Internet, Fuel).

  • Quantity: Add quantity.

  • Rate: The cost per item or service.

  • Amount: This fills automatically based on quantity × rate.

On the right side, click + Add Attachments to upload receipts or supporting files.

 

6. Save the Bill

That's it! Your company expense is now recorded. You can pay the vendor by clicking on Make a Payment. 




You can select the Payment type and edit the Payment amount to make a partial payment as well.



Click on Make a Payment. 

Now, if there’s any remaining balance, it will appear in the Due Balances section. 



The status will show as 'Partially Paid' once you post the payment.
