Post a bill

Posting commits an approved bill to the ledger — debiting the expense or asset and crediting the supplier payable, so the amount owed and your VAT are recorded.

Before you start

An approved bill (and matched, if it came from a purchase order).

Open the approved bill’s posting page.

On an approved bill, open the Posting tab. The "Post to ledger" action is enabled once the bill is approved and not on hold.

Post the bill to the ledger.

Posting runs as a workflow: it builds and posts the journal. The status moves to "Posting", then "Posted".

The bill is posted.

The status shows "Posted" with a link to the journal, and the bill is now ready for payment.
