Bills
Every bill with its status and due date: what's coming due, overdue and paid.
The Bills page lists what you owe, with due dates and the balance left on each. Use it to decide what to pay next.
Status (open, partial, paid, void) comes from the bill itself: what was billed, what's been paid, and whether it's past due.
Managing what you owe
- See what's due
Sort by due date to plan payments, or turn on Overdue only in Filters. The Balance column is what you still owe.
- Record a payment
Record payment in a bill's menu records it directly. Or, when the payment shows up in your bank feed, use the Match tab in its Category menu to apply it to the bill. Either way Accounts Payable goes down and cash goes down.
- Undo a wrong match
Pick Uncategorized in the payment's Category menu. The bill reopens and the bank line goes back to Review.
Paying a bill doesn't change profit
The expense was recorded when you entered the bill. Paying it moves money out of cash to settle a liability, both balance sheet accounts, so the day you pay doesn't change that month's profit.
That's why a profitable month can still drain your bank account when several bills fall due.
Good to know
- Bills aren't rows on the Transactions page. Each payment is, categorized as the bill it paid.
- A recorded bill can't be deleted. Void it instead: Lejr records the reversal and both entries stay in the journal.
