   • Quote - allows you to populate information from a previously accepted quote
   • Purchase Order - allows you to populate information from a previously created purchase order
   • Template - select a previously saved bill template

5. Click the 'Add a Line Item' button to add in each of the bill's line item details, completing the following details for each line:
   
   Code - a product inventory shortcut code, if previously loaded, this will fill in many of the following fields 
   Description - of this bill or bill line 
   Chart of Accounts Code - the project this portion of the bill is to be charged to
   Category - the category this bill is to be charged against - also ensures your back costing report is correct

   UOM (Unit of Measure) i.e. each
   QTY (Quantity) - the number of units
   Cost Price - your per-item cost
   Markup - if required i.e. if you are on-charging this bill, you can add a markup 
   Sell Price - will auto-calculate from the QTY, Cost Price and Markup - or manually enter a Sell Price here to calculate the Margin
   Tax Rate - if applicable i.e. 15% GST 
   
   
6. Then click the SAVE button to confirm your line entry 
   
   
7. Repeat the above steps to add the next line(s) until every single item and total item value of that bill has been added
   
   
8. Once all of the bill's charges have been accounted for, you can then click the 'Approve' Button to load that bill entry.
   
   This will load the bill and take you back to the project's 'Bills In' sub-tab, where this new bill entry will be displayed.
