Bills, expenses and paying vendors

• Bill: something you owe and will pay later. Enter it with Create › Bill; it waits under Expenses & Bills › [Bills](/expenses/bills) (Unpaid, soonest due first) until it's paid.
• Expense: something already paid, by card, cash, check or bank transfer (Create › Expense or Create › Check).
• Vendor credit: a vendor owes you; it's applied to their open bills.
• Purchase order: what you've ordered, turned into a bill when it arrives.

Pay a bill with Make payment on the Bills list (or Pay bill on its page), or let the bank withdrawal do it: it shows Pay bill in Bank transactions.

Paying several bills at once

Create › [Pay bills](/new/pay-bills) (also under Add bill on the Bills page, and New transaction on a vendor's page) lists every unpaid bill, soonest due first. Choose the payment account and date, tick the bills you paid (the amount fills in with the balance; change it for a part payment), and save. Each bill gets its own payment. If one can't be saved, none are, so nothing is half done.

Overview pages

Expenses & Bills › [Overview](/expenses/overview) shows unpaid and overdue bills, what's due in the next 30 days, spending by month, and your top categories and vendors this year. Sales & Get Paid › [Overview](/sales/overview) does the same for sales: unpaid and overdue invoices, what came in, how long customers take to pay, income by month and your top customers.

Everything in one list

Expenses & Bills › [Expense transactions](/expenses) lists every expense, check, bill, bill payment, vendor credit and purchase order, plus spending you categorized in Bank transactions. Filter by type and date, or search. Sales & Get Paid › [Sales transactions](/sales/all) does the same for invoices, payments, estimates, receipts and credits.
