Hi Enoch - to edit a bill, get it listed on the Purchases>Bills screen and click on it's number, then hit the Edit button.

You can only fully edit unpaid bills that have yet to be included on a VAT return. So, other than changing account codes and projects, any bills on a VAT return are fixed and if you want to edit a paid bill since the last return, you have to remove the payment first.

So, if you need to change and reallocate costs on a fixed bill between different projects, you will be better off using Journals in the Tools menu. For example if you have put £100 cost to project A and want to split it 50:50 to projects B & C, create a journal entry with 3 lines using the account code you used on the bill on all three lines. With the first two lines debit £50 to each of project A & B and, with the 3rd line credit the £100 to project A.

Hope that helps
