Purchase Orders

Converting a purchase order to an expense

Record a fulfilled purchase order as an expense in one click, so it shows up in your expense reports.

Last updated

A fulfilled purchase order is not itself an expense; it needs to be converted before it appears in your expense reports. Rebill pre-fills the expense from the purchase order so this only takes a few clicks.

  1. 1

    Open the fulfilled purchase order

    Purchase orders that are Fulfilled and have not yet been recorded as an expense show a "Record as expense" button above the document.
  2. 2

    Click "Record as expense"

    This opens a dialog pre-filled from the purchase order.
    po record expense modal
  3. 3

    Confirm or adjust the details

    • Category: choose an expense category
    • Payment Method: Cash, Card, Bank Transfer, or Other
    • Amount: defaults to the purchase order total; adjust if the final amount differed
    • Date: defaults to today
  4. 4

    Save

    Click "Record as expense". The purchase order is linked to the newly created expense, so it cannot be converted a second time.

Tip

The Supplier / Vendor field and a note referencing the purchase order number are filled in automatically on the created expense. Once recorded, the purchase order page shows a link to the expense, and the expense list shows a note it came from a purchase order.
