4 things to know about bills and suppliers in Budgetly

Budgetly’s bill payments let you pay suppliers directly from your Spend Account — by bank transfer or BPAY. Here’s everything you need to know.

1. Create and pay a bill

Bills follow four stages: Supplier → Bill details → Budget → Pay. Upload an invoice and Budgetly’s AI extracts the details, or enter them manually.

2. Set up approval workflows

Control which bills need admin sign-off before payment. Set an auto-approval limit — bills under the limit are paid directly, bills over it require approval.
