# 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

* In the left-hand sidebar, go to **Spend > Bills to Pay**.
* Find the bill you want to update and click **Record Payment or Credit**.

2. **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.
