What are bills and why are they important?

The bill is a commercial document issued by the seller to the buyer, indicating the product, quantity, and the agreed price of the products or services that the seller has provided to the buyer. It also indicates that the buyer must pay the seller a specified amount according to the terms of payment and within a certain period of time.

Creating Bills

You can create a bill by clicking on the (+) sign beside “Bills” on the “Purchases” dropdown list.
