Bills is part of Money & The Close in Windward System Five. System Five includes 4 documented capabilities here — 3 in the standard set and 1 optional.
These 4 capabilities sit within System Five's 1287-capability documented set — a selection, not a ceiling.
Match the bill to what actually arrived
Bills capture bill and PO number, description, supplier, separate payee, date, due date and book month, and the PO tab lists every purchase order and receiving for that supplier so the bill can be built from the receiving detail. Each receiving event is a separate line, and only the selected receivings are linked.
Split recurring bills across departments automatically
Recurring bills that split across accounts or departments are set up as reusable templates with a saved distribution configuration; templates survive a system restart and can cover more than one department.
Spread one bill over several months
A bill can be split over a chosen number of months, monthly or every 30 days, generating a schedule of dated part-payments that must total the bill before it will save.
Pay the buying group, not the supplier
A bill can name a payee different from the supplier — a buying group or finance company — and bills can be searched by payee.
