Q1. What is a bill receipt, and how do I create one?
A bill receipt lets you record a bill and its payment together in one step. Use it for expenses you’ve already paid, like cash purchases or paid supplier receipts.
Go to Purchases → Bills → New Bill dropdown → New Bill Receipt, fill in the bill and payment details, and save.
You can also create a bill receipt while reconciling a bank statement line. See Bank Reconciliations.
Q2. How is a bill receipt different from a regular bill?
A bill receipt is a short-form template to record a fully paid bill, meaning that payments have already been made for the bill. You will be asked to enter a payment alongside the bill.
This is different from a regular bill, where at the point of creation, there may not have been any payments made for the bill.
Q3. When and why would I use a bill receipt instead of a full bill?
Use a bill receipt when the bill is already settled, for example paid in cash, by card, or outside Jaz.
Q4. Can I track payments and view the status of a bill receipt?
Due to the nature of bill receipts, the bill that is created from a bill receipt would be marked with a Fully Paid status.
You can view the created bill under Bills → Active.
Open up the bill created from the bill receipt, and you will also be able to see any payments associated with the created bill.
Q5. Do bill receipts affect my accounting?
Yes, the same way as any bill and payment. Bills and payments created from bill receipts post to your ledger and appear in your reports.
