Pay bills

Many bills, and claims to pay back, paid at once by one file your bank reads, approved by a second person first.

Make a payment run

  1. Press New payment run.
  2. Choose the account under Pay from, and the day under The bank pays on.
  3. Check the bills and claims to pay, or press Choose all that can be paid.
  4. Check the total at the foot.
  5. Press Make the run.

Then: The run opens on its own page, waiting for a second person's approval. Its bills and claims are held: nothing else pays them while the run waits.

On Friday Grace checks four bills due next week and one claim, from the Hillside Center's bank account, paid on Monday: $3,240 in five payments.

Confirm a payee's new bank account

  1. Call the payee on a number you already had, never one given with the change, and ask whether the new account is theirs.
  2. On the run's list, press Confirm the account beside them.
  3. Press I called them, and it is theirs, and confirm it's you.

Then: The account can be paid at once, without waiting the cooling days.

If New payment run is not there

  1. Read the notice: no bank account is set up to pay by file yet.
  2. If you are an Owner or Admin, press Set up the payment file.
  3. Otherwise, ask an Owner or Admin to set up the bank account the money leaves from.

Then: Once an account is set up, New payment run shows to whoever keeps the book.

Pay bills lists the runs of every book you can open. Making, sending and undoing a run need Record money at its unit; approving needs Approve money there. Setting up the accounts paid from is for Owners and Admins, in Settings › Payment file.
