Bills

Orders → Bills holds every supplier bill, of two kinds. An expense bill has no purchase order behind it: rent, software, a 3PL's fees. It's expensed to the accounts you choose, can be tracked as cost entries for product profitability, and can sync to Xero or QuickBooks. A landed cost bill is a freight, customs, or brokerage invoice for a purchase order, inbound shipment, or transfer, and its cost goes into your inventory. The Type column and the All / Expense / Landed cost toggle tell them apart.
