Can Core Estimator read my supplier invoices?

Yes. Upload the PDF or a photo and Extract Data reads the invoice number, dates and line items into the bill. You choose the supplier and check it against the document before approving.

When does a bill count against the budget?

Once it's approved. Draft, pending and needs-review bills don't touch the budget or the Financial Overview.

Can I link a bill to a purchase order?

Yes. Pick the order on the bill and tie each line to the order line it's for.

How do I record a part payment?

Add a payment for what you paid. The bill moves to Part Paid, then to Paid once the balance is covered.

Does it work with Xero?

Yes. Push approved bills to Xero with the right account codes, and payments sync both ways.
