What is a PAY prefixed bill?

Hi

Thanks for contacting Clear Books support.

The PAY prefixed bills are system automated bills created when either explaining a payment on an imported statement or a Money out transaction from Money > Manage Money. They are typically used when a bill is not raised and you just want to record the payment out of your accounts.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance, if indeed this was helpful, or if this raises any other questions.

All the best,
Abdul

Hi - So, if a payment has a PAY prefix, do you still need to enter the invoice on the system and have a PUR prefix? Thanks

Hi Kathryn,

No, if you raise a PAY, you do not need to raise a bill as this will duplicate the outgoing. You should only raise a bill if the bill date is different to the payment date.
