# Other Actions in Bills

Voiding, cloning, crediting a disputed bill, and the two lists worth running every month: bills still in draft, and open bills nobody has paid.

![The overflow menu on an open bill, reached from the three-dot button in the record's toolbar. It offers Create Vendor Credit, View Journal, Clone, Make Recurring, and in red at the foot Void and Delete.](https://www.sorviai.com/help/bills/bill-actions-menu.png)

*The destructive pair sits apart, in red, at the bottom of the menu.*

## Void, delete, credit

| Action | When | Effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Delete | Draft only | Removes it entirely. Nothing posted, nothing to reverse. |
| Void | Open, nothing paid | Reverses the payable, keeps the record and the number. |
| Create Vendor Credit | Open, in dispute or partly paid | A vendor credit for the disputed part, set against what you owe. |

> A bill is draft, open, overdue, partially paid, paid or void, and that is the whole list. Nothing marks one as disputed or keeps it out of a payment run, so a bill you are arguing about stays exactly as visible as every other. Raise a vendor credit for the disputed part and settle the remainder.

## Clone

Cloning copies the vendor, lines, accounts and tax into a new draft. Useful for a repeat cost that is not regular enough for a recurring bill, such as a quarterly professional fee. **Make Recurring**, one item above it in the menu, is the other half of that choice: it turns this bill into a profile that raises itself.

- Clear the vendor invoice number. A bill number must be unique per vendor, so reusing it is refused outright rather than warned about.
- Check the amount. Prices copy from the original, not from anywhere current.
- Payments and attachments are not copied, only the billing content.

## The two lists worth running

- **Draft bills** (costs you have not recorded): Every one is a cost missing from your profit and loss and a liability missing from your balance sheet. Clear this list before every close.
- **Open and unpaid, past due** (suppliers you are annoying): Sorted by due date, this is your payment run. A long tail here is usually bills nobody assigned to a run.

Bulk actions cover the tedious part. Select rows on the list and you are offered **Convert to Open** for a batch of drafts you have already checked, **Record Payment**, **Export as PDF**, **Print** and **Delete**.
