Bills represent expenses that have been recorded but not yet fully paid. This helps you track what your business owes to vendors.

Bills Table Overview

On the Bills page, you can view key details such as:

  • Date

  • Bill Number

  • Title

Step 3: Adding a Bill

To create a new bill:

A modal will appear where you can:

  • Enter bill details manually, or

  • Upload a document containing bill records

Once submitted, Adam processes the data and adds the bill to your table.

Important:

  • Uploaded documents must be under 15,000 characters

  • Maximum file length is 10 pages

Step 4: Searching and Filtering Bills

You can easily locate specific bills by:

  • Using the search bar to find bills by keyword

  • Applying date filters such as:

    • Year to Date

This helps you quickly find and review specific transactions.
