Accounts Payable Software — Track Vendor Bills & Payments

Track vendor bills, record payments, view AP aging reports, and auto-post everything to your general ledger. GST/HST Input Tax Credit tracking included.

What is Accounts Payable?

Accounts payable is the money your business owes to vendors and suppliers for goods and services received but not yet paid for

Bill Entry

Record vendor bills as they arrive with the vendor name, invoice number, amount, due date, and expense category. Each bill is tracked individually so nothing slips through the cracks, and overdue items are flagged automatically.

Payment Recording

Record full or partial payments against any outstanding vendor bill. Each payment creates a journal entry that debits Accounts Payable and credits your bank account, keeping your books balanced in real time without manual data entry.

AP Aging

See exactly what you owe and when it is due with aging buckets for current, 30, 60, and 90+ days. The AP aging report helps you prioritize payments, manage cash flow, and avoid late fees or strained vendor relationships.

Partial Payments

Not every bill gets paid in full at once. iBill tracks partial payments against each vendor bill, updating the outstanding balance automatically. You always know the exact remaining amount for every open bill across all your vendors.

GL Auto-Posting

Every vendor bill and payment automatically generates the correct journal entries in your general ledger. Bill entry debits the expense account and credits AP (2200). Payment reverses the AP balance and credits your bank account (1200).

ITC Recovery

GST and HST paid on vendor bills are recoverable as Input Tax Credits when you file your return with the CRA. iBill separates recoverable GST/HST (account 2110) from non-recoverable provincial sales tax (account 2220) automatically.

How iBill Handles Accounts Payable

From vendor bill entry to payment and reporting — everything is tracked and posted to your GL automatically

Vendor Bill Creation

Enter vendor bills with all the details: vendor name, invoice number, amount, due date, expense category, and applicable taxes. Each bill is stored with a complete audit trail from entry to final payment.

Payment Recording

Record full or partial payments against any outstanding bill. Each payment generates a journal entry that debits AP (2200) and credits your bank account (1200). Partial payments update the remaining balance automatically.

AP Aging Report

View all outstanding vendor bills in aging buckets: current, 30 days, 60 days, and 90+ days overdue. Prioritize which vendors to pay first and maintain healthy supplier relationships while managing your cash flow.

GL Integration

When you enter a vendor bill, iBill debits the expense account (e.g., 5000 Office Supplies) and credits Accounts Payable (2200). When you pay, it debits AP and credits Bank (1200). Your general ledger stays balanced automatically.

GST/HST ITC Tracking

Recoverable GST and HST on vendor bills are posted to account 2110 (Input Tax Credits). Non-recoverable provincial taxes like BC PST or Saskatchewan PST go to account 2220. This separation ensures accurate CRA tax reporting.

Vendor Ledger

View the complete payment history for any vendor in one place: every bill, every payment, every outstanding balance. Export vendor ledger data for year-end reporting or CRA audit requests with a single click.

Accounts Payable FAQs

How does accounts payable work in iBill?
You create a vendor bill by entering the vendor name, invoice number, amount, due date, and any applicable taxes. iBill automatically posts the journal entry — debit to the appropriate expense account and credit to Accounts Payable (2200). When you record a payment, iBill debits AP and credits your bank account, keeping your books balanced at all times.
Can I track partial vendor payments?
Yes. iBill supports partial payments on vendor bills. Each payment is recorded with its own journal entry and the outstanding balance updates automatically. The AP aging report shows the remaining amount due for each bill, so you always know exactly what you owe.
How does accounts payable affect my general ledger?
When you enter a vendor bill, iBill debits the expense account (e.g., 5000 Office Supplies) and credits Accounts Payable (2200). When you pay the bill, iBill debits AP (2200) and credits your bank account (1200). GST/HST Input Tax Credits are tracked separately in account 2110 for recoverable taxes and 2220 for non-recoverable PST.
Does iBill track GST/HST ITCs on vendor bills?
Yes. When you enter a vendor bill with GST or HST, iBill automatically posts the recoverable portion to the ITC account (2110). Non-recoverable provincial sales tax (like BC PST or Saskatchewan PST) is posted to account 2220. This ensures your ITC claims are accurate when you file your GST/HST return with the CRA.
