Bill Payment
Once you have successfully added a bill to the system and have navigated to the payment section, you will need to manually enter the payment received for that bill. Although future updates to the system will allow automatic processing of this step if enabled, please follow the manual steps outlined below for now.
- Start by locating the Bill Management Page within the system. This can typically be found by looking for a navigation menu situated on the side of your screen. Click on this menu to expand it, revealing various options. From this expanded menu, select the "Bills" option. This action will redirect you to an organized overview of all bills you have previously created. Here you can see important details such as the bill amounts, due dates, customer names, and statuses displayed in a clear and structured format.

- After reaching the Bill Management Page, take a moment to carefully examine the list of bills. If your account contains numerous entries, it may be challenging to locate the specific bill you wish to process a payment for. To make this task easier, utilize the filter function often located at the top of the bill list. This tool enables you to input specific criteria—such as date ranges, amounts, or payment statuses—allowing you to quickly narrow down the entries and identify the exact bill.

- Once you have pinpointed the bill you want to add a payment to, look for an action button adjacent to that particular bill entry. Clicking on this button will reveal a dropdown menu offering several operational options. Select the "Pay" option from this menu, which will direct you to the payment form associated with that bill.

- the payment form will provide essential information related to the bill you are paying. This information typically includes the name of the customer, the bill number, the total amount due, applicable tax details, TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) amount, and a summary of any previous payments made against this bill. Additionally, the form will display the remaining balance that is still owed.

- In the field designated for the payable amount, the system will auto-fill the remaining balance that is due on the bill. If you choose to pay a lesser amount than the balance, be sure that the amount you enter does not exceed the remaining balance, as this could lead to errors in processing.

- At this stage, you will select a payment mode from three available options: cash, bank transfer, or cheque. Decide which option is most suitable for your transaction. If you opt for cash, the payment form will remain unchanged. However, if you select bank transfer, two additional fields will appear where you need to provide bank account details for both the account from which the funds are being withdrawn and the account into which the funds are being deposited. If you select the cheque option, a field will be added for you to enter the cheque number.

- You will need to enter the date of the payment. The payment form will already have the current date pre-filled for your convenience. If you need to modify this date for any reason—such as recording a backdated transaction—you may do so at this point.

- Lastly, there is a field where you can optionally add a description for the payment. Although this field is not mandatory, providing a brief description can be highly beneficial for your records, making it easier to reference the transaction in the future.

By following these detailed steps, you can ensure that the payment is accurately recorded against the respective bill in the system. If you encounter any difficulties during this process, please consult the help documentation or reach out to your system administrator for assistance.
