Vendor bills and accounts payable

Create, approve, post, and record payment on vendor bills. Draft bills can also come from maintenance tasks.

What a vendor bill is

Vendor bills are AP documents for operational suppliers (cleaning, maintenance, and similar). They post into Zyelra’s ledger when approved/posted per your permissions.

Typical AP lifecycle

  1. Step 1In Zyelra

    Create a draft bill

    Finance → Vendor Bills → New bill (ap.manage), or create a draft from a maintenance task when offered.

  2. Step 2In Zyelra

    Approve and post

    On bill detail, approve and post using the AP actions your role allows. Posted bills affect the ledger.

  3. Step 3In Zyelra

    Record payment

    Record payment against the bill when paying the vendor through your normal process. Sync to QuickBooks only if accounting integration is connected and the bill sync capability is available for your connection.

  • Finance overview

    Zyelra’s ledger and operating balances are the financial source of truth. Payment providers are rails — not a custodial Zyelra wallet.

  • Chart of accounts and ledger

    Zyelra’s chart of accounts and ledger are the canonical books of record. Providers and QuickBooks are downstream rails and destinations.

  • Maintenance, evidence, and AP bills

    Create maintenance tasks, attach evidence, assign vendors, and optionally create a draft vendor bill — without implying live payout.

  • QuickBooks integration

    Connect QuickBooks as a downstream accounting destination. Zyelra remains the books of record. Production QuickBooks is blocked until verified.
