How to Assign Multiple Payments to a Bill in COUNT

Bills aren’t always paid in a single transaction — sometimes vendors receive partial payments or credits applied over time. COUNT allows you to assign multiple payments or credit memos to a bill so your records always reflect reality.

Steps to Assign Payments or Credits

Open the Bill

From the left sidebar, go to Expenses > Bills to Pay.

Click Record Payment or Credit.
Choose How to Apply

You’ll see two options:

Select Transactions – Use this to assign one or multiple payment transactions to the bill.

Apply Credit – You can also apply a vendor credit memo to reduce the bill balance.

After selecting the relevant payments or credits, click Save. The bill’s status will update to Partially Paid or Paid in Full, depending on what was applied.

Pro Tip: You can return to the same bill later to assign additional payments if your vendor is paid over multiple installments. COUNT will always keep track of what’s been applied so you can see the remaining balance at a glance.
