Add a vendor’s bill and record a payment

3 minute read·Updated 10 October 2026

Plott keeps a simple account for each vendor: what they have billed, less what you have paid. It only notes what you paid. The money itself goes from your bank or UPI, as always.

1Add their bill

On the PO, next to Their bills, choose Add bill. Attach their invoice as a PDF or a photo, up to 8 MB, then fill in Their bill no., Bill date, Amount ₹, with GST and What it is for, and choose Save the bill.

A bill with no PO? In the project’s POs & costs, choose Add vendor bill, or on the vendor’s page choose Add their bill.

2Record a payment

On the PO, choose Record payment. Enter the amount, Paid on, How (UPI, bank transfer, cash or cheque) and a reference, like a UTR or cheque number, then choose Save the payment. The same button is on the vendor’s page and in POs & costs.

3Advances

Paid before any bill came? Record it the same way. The PO shows Advance until a bill arrives to set it against.

4Where it shows

The PO shows what is paid, what is billed and to pay, and what is not billed yet. The vendor’s Account lists every bill and payment, oldest first, with the balance after each.

Tip: Entered something wrong? Remove the bill or payment and add it again.
