This is where you can enter the information for bills you have received from suppliers.

There are a few differences between Bills and Purchase Orders:

• Bills allow less details to be entered, eg. no addresses or supplementary comments
• You close a Bill by changing it's Status in it's details.
• A payment for a Bill can be recorded once it's closed and before it's then saved. Otherwise, a closed Bill's payment is recorded in the Accounts Payable => Supplier Accounts section.

If you want to order goods/services from a supplier, you should use the Purchase Order section.
