How should I code my bills? (to expense or balance sheet)

Learn the best practices for coding bills as expenses or balance sheet items to effectively manage your financial records and make informed business decisions.

We recommend coding bills to expense codes to get the full benefit of ScaleXP automation with minimal extra steps required.

You can not accrue bills which have been coded to the balance sheet, although you can choose to code prepayments to one or more prepayment asset accounts.

If you code to the balance sheet, you will be given the opportunity to choose the proper expense account for each supplier, bill or line item to end up in for the journal. You do this in Review Prepayments.

If you use multiple balance sheet accounts for prepayments, you'll need to map prepayment accounts to expense accounts to ensure the cost is allocated to the right balance sheet account. 

Only one liability account is supported for accrued expenses.
