Hi there, brand new to the program...hoping to get my husbands books in order...does it make sense to just start adding invoices (bills), and therefore adding suppliers as I go? Would I add these as a payable charge vs withdrawl because at the time of adding I'm not sure if they have been paid or not? (and then can add the payment later, when that payment receipt comes up?) Thank you
Good afternoon Nicole!
Just as a heads up, I saw you had accidentally posted your question twice, so I deleted the duplicate question!
There is a lot of "You bet!" in your question above. Yes, if you are playing catch up on your books, you are free to go ahead and just start adding bills and suppliers as you come across them. You can worry about reconciling later. And yes, if you are unsure about the payment status of the bills, it is best practice to enter them all as payable charges, and then go through and enter the payments against those invoices as you come across them on a bank statement, credit card statement, etc.
You will definitely want to make sure you are reconciled in the end, though, if at all possible, just to make sure you don't miss anything.
If you have any further questions, feel free to let us know!
