Reconcile billsLast updated on 03/22/2022

Bills are generated when you receive a purchase order shipment from your purchasing vendor. Before you pay your bills, review and reconcile your bills to ensure they are accurate. This helps to ensure you pay bills on time and maintain a good credit standing with vendors. After you reconcile bills, add them to statements and pay your statement balances. You can also export reconciled bills to QuickBooks Desktop.

When reconciling bills, make sure to review these for accuracy:

  • Total

  • Item SKUs

  • Item costs 

  • Item quantity

  • Fees and deduction

  • Sales tax

  • Shipping fees

  • Payment term 

Note: You can only add reconciled bills to statements.
