Record a variable bill’s actual payment

Before you start

Use your statement or receipt to find the actual amount paid. To change only the reference amount for future planning, edit the bill instead of recording a payment.

Confirm a payment

1. Open the bill from Bills, Calendar or Overview.
2. Select Confirm amount for its unpaid billing period.
3. Check Counts toward, enter the actual amount and set Paid date.
4. Choose the method and, if shown, Paid by, then select Log payment.
5. Open History and check that the payment appears in the intended month.

How estimates change

The reference amount is marked est. while the period is unpaid. Recorded variable payments also help estimate future occurrences; an estimate is not a confirmed charge or a bank balance.

If Confirm amount is absent

A paid, skipped, archived or off-cycle billing period may not need confirmation. Check the period and History before adding another payment.
