Bill export overview

The bill export process marks bills as exported and prepares them for import into an accounting system.

  • Marks bills as exported.

Accounting workflow 

  • Pay vendor bills (Accounts payable function).
  • Distribute costs from bills across various buildings, departments, etc. (General ledger function).

Bill export example

  1. Enter or import bills: with Bill CAPture, bill import, or manual entry.
  2. Audit: check for errors before approving bills.
  3. Approve: use a bill list to view and approve bills.
  4. Export bills: manual or automated export to AP or GL. A maximum of 10,000 bills can be exported at one time.
  5. Reformat bills: reformat the UtilityManagement file to match your accounting system format.

Automation can replace step 4 and 5, automate bill export, reformat bills, and upload the file to an Accounting system.
