A vendor bill in Zoho Inventory is the payable document created when a vendor sends you an invoice for goods delivered. It is typically generated from a purchase order after goods receipt and represents the amount owed to the supplier.
A purchase order is a commitment to buy; a vendor bill records the actual liability once goods arrive. Three-way matching involves comparing the purchase order, goods received note, and vendor bill to ensure quantities and prices align before approving payment.
Vendor bills created in Zoho Inventory sync to Zoho Books as accounts payable entries. Payments made in Books update the bill status in Inventory, maintaining a consistent view of outstanding payables across both systems.
