How do I mark a bill as paid?

Record a cash or check payment for a bill.

Once you've paid a bill outside of Beam (such as by cash or check), you can record the payment to keep your project and financial records up to date.

Step 1: Open the bill

You can access a bill in one of two ways:

  • From a Project: Open the project and navigate to the Bills tab.
  • From the Main Menu: Click More in the top navigation bar, then select Bills. From here, you can view all bills across your projects and filter or sort them by status, due date, and other views.
