A bill is an invoice your business owes a vendor. Record bills from your AP system, pay them from Slash, and Slash keeps each bill’s status and balance up to date as the money moves.

Managing bills

Create, edit, void and find bills.

Receive bills by email

Let vendors email invoices in.

Pay bills

Pay with a transfer.

​
What’s on a bill

Only the line items are required, so you can record a bill before you know who the vendor is or how they want to be paid.

​
Status

You never set a bill’s status. Slash works it out from the bill’s payments and updates it whenever one of them changes.

Amounts and line items can only change while a bill is draft or rejected. Everything else, such as the due date, notes and documents, can be edited at any time.

​
Where bills come from

source records how a bill was created:
  • api: created with Create a bill.
  • manual: entered in the Slash dashboard.
  • email: sent to your bill inbox.
  • carrier_account: pulled from a connected carrier portal. These are read-only.
All of them appear in the same list, with the same fields.

Aging report

Add includeSummary=true to List bills to get totals and an accounts payable aging report (current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 and over 90 days past due) for every bill that matches your filters.
