Accounts Payable tracks what you owe suppliers. The screen at Accounting > Entities > Accounts Payable is a read-only view of the AP aging report: it lists outstanding supplier bills, groups them by age and summarises what is due.
Supplier Records
Suppliers are maintained at Accounting > Entities > Suppliers. The Vendors tab on the Accounts Payable screen is not the supplier master file — it lists names derived from the bills in the aging report. A supplier record holds a vendor number, company name, contact name, email, phone, address, payment terms, a bank account number, a VAT/Tax ID and notes. See the Customer and Supplier Master Data article.
Where Supplier Bills Come From
There is no Bills screen and no New Bill button, and the Accounts Payable page offers no way to add a vendor or a supplier invoice. Capture supplier costs as Expense transactions on Accounting > Transactions > Ledger with New Entry: that path writes both the transaction and its journal entry (debiting the expense account you choose, crediting the payment side).
Aging Buckets
AP aging uses the same five buckets as receivables, measured in days past the bill due date: not yet due, current (1–30 days past due), 31–60, 61–90 and 91+ days. As with AR, “current” already means overdue.
The Aged Creditors report in Accounting > Financial > Reports is not a printout of this screen: it shows what the posted ledger owes each supplier, aged by days since posting.
Partial Payments
The Process Payment action has no amount field — it flags the whole bill as paid. There is no partial-payment support in Accounts Payable. If you pay a supplier in instalments, capture each instalment as its own transaction on the Ledger.
