Bill Management7

Covers entering vendor bills manually, via OCR, or from an approved PO, coding lines to GL accounts and dimensions, routing bills through approval, posting them, generating recurring bills on a schedule, and voiding/replacing posted bills to correct errors.

Highlights
  • Bill Entry: Manual, OCR, PO ConversionA bill can be keyed in by hand, created from an OCR-scanned upload, or generated by converting an approved purchase order.
  • Bill Line-Item Coding & ValidationValidates that each bill line maps to a valid expense/asset GL account and optional dimensions before it can be submitted.
  • Bill Approval RoutingRoutes submitted bills through a configurable approval chain based on amount, entity, or dimension values, with reject/request-changes options.
  • Bill Posting (Single & Bulk)Posts one or many approved bills at once, creating the expense/AP journal entries and making them available for payment and AP aging.
  • Recurring BillsTemplates a fixed-schedule bill (e.g. rent or a subscription) so DualEntry generates a new draft bill automatically on each scheduled date.

DualEntry Procurement FAQ

Does DualEntry support three-way matching for purchases?

Yes — Purchase Orders covers issuing POs with vendor and line-item detail, threshold-based approval routing, recording receipts against PO lines, and three-way matching POs to receipts and bills before converting approved POs into bills.

Can DualEntry process vendor bills from OCR or a PO?

Yes — Bill Management covers entering vendor bills manually, via OCR, or from an approved PO, coding lines to GL accounts and dimensions, routing through approval, and generating recurring bills on a schedule.

Does DualEntry track vendor credits and prepayments?

Yes — Vendor Records & Credits maintains vendor master records alongside credit memo, prepayment, prepayment-application, and refund transaction types used to offset or return vendor balances.

Is DualEntry's procurement a full purchasing system?
