Bill Reconciliation

Bill Reconciliation helps you avoid overpaying for purchases by verifying bills against purchase orders and purchase receives. Bills that are not associated with purchase orders and purchase receives, or bills that have mismatched item prices will be flagged. A warning will be displayed for those bills.

Note: This feature is a part of the Zoho BillPay add-on for Zoho Books. Purchase the add-on to enable the feature for your organization.
