Convert an accepted receipt into a bill draft

Use the supplier invoice to complete one supported receipt conversion.

Updated 2026-11-11

An eligible accepted receipt can create one unissued bill draft. Open the receipt, verify current approval evidence and choose Create bill draft. Review the accepted receipt subtotal before entering the supplier invoice details.

Enter Supplier invoice number, Bill date, Due date and Reviewed bill tax from the supplier invoice. The tax field concerns the reviewed invoice, so do not assume the purchase order's estimate is the final tax amount. Provide a specific Conversion reason.

Review the conversion and confirm the saved result. Continue in Bills to inspect the draft's current terms, account mapping and issuance state. Creating the draft does not itself post the payable or pay the supplier.

If the receipt already shows Bill draft created, open that retained conversion rather than making another bill for the same receipt. The current draft can have changed since conversion, so use its latest saved terms in Bills. Keep the order, receipt and supplier invoice linked through their preserved history when explaining the obligation.
