    I think its a personal choice. Because I spend often on smaller purchases and pay for items at time of purchase, (not on credit) I find doing a spend money transation quicker and smipler. I will occasionally create a bill on a larger purchase partitally if I dont pay for it imminently. eg 30 days. Also by raising a bill, the outstanding amount will show on your dashboard to remind you of the pending payment. Generally, purchase paid for at time of purchase (spend money). Purchase on credit I create a bill.

    Hi Linesman

     

    Thanks for bringing your question to the forum!

     

    In addition to what pippypip mentioned, it's worth noting that spend money records payment transactions directly, whereas a created bill will first record a payable transaction, allowing you to create a payment for it later.

     

    If you need further clarification or have any more questions, feel free to ask. We're here to assist!

     

    Thanks,
