Introduction to the Command Center
The Command Center provides a comprehensive overview of your open bills, allowing you to prioritize payments based on due dates and amounts. You can also use this feature to track your cash flow forecast, making it easier to anticipate and prepare for upcoming expenses.
Managing Open Bills
In the Command Center, you can view a list of all your open bills, including the vendor name, invoice date, due date, and amount. You can sort this list by due date, amount, or vendor name, making it easy to identify which bills need to be paid first. Some key features of the Command Center include:
- Filtering bills by status (open, paid, or overdue)
- Sorting bills by due date, amount, or vendor name
- Viewing bill details, including the invoice date and amount
Marking Invoices as Paid
Once you've paid a vendor invoice, you can mark it as paid in the Command Center. This helps keep your records up to date and ensures that you don't accidentally pay the same invoice twice. To mark an invoice as paid, simply click on the "Mark as Paid" button next to the invoice. You will be prompted to enter the payment date and amount, and the invoice will be updated accordingly.
