Bill row actions for payment history and linked journal review

Start here

If you are entering a new bill, go directly to Create a bill. Use the choices below for other bill work.

Goal	Use	Check First
Enter a new vendor bill	Create bills	Vendor, `Pay from`, due date, line accounts, and bill status
Record a full or partial bill payment	Record bill payments	Bill balance, `Pay from`, payment date, and whether a bank row should be matched
Import grouped bill rows from a file	Import bills	Vendors, line accounts, duplicate bill numbers, and `Pay from` routing
Match a bank withdrawal to an open bill	Match bank transactions	Pending bank row, open bill, vendor, amount, date, and difference
Void or correct a posted bill	Void or correct bills	Active payments, linked journals, bill status, balance, and reversal date
Choose a payables correction path	Review common payables workflows	Whether the issue belongs to vendor setup, bill entry, payment, banking, or journal review

Confirm the active company before creating or changing bill records.
Review whether Pay from should use an Accounts Payable control account or a cash, bank, or credit-card settlement account.
Review line-level Account values before saving or importing.
Check bill balance before recording payment or voiding.
Review payment history before reversing or correcting a bill with activity.
Treat posted-save prompts, void confirmation, and paid-now routing as accounting-sensitive choices.

Paid status is not the same thing as matching a bank withdrawal.
Default expense account is not a substitute for reviewing line-level bill accounts.
A bill payment and a bank match can describe the same cash movement; avoid recording both unless both are intentionally required.
Voiding a bill is not deleting it. A supported void preserves the bill and reversal history.
Vendor defaults seed values; they do not remove the need to review each bill.
