A bill is a document that indicates the costs related to purchases from suppliers or third-party service providers.
After the customer has confirmed the quote and you have made the relevant purchases (for example, you offered a service that was outsourced from a third party), you can turn the quote into a bill to add the related purchase invoice to Scoro.
In the quote detailed view, click the Create from quote… button and select Create bill.
You’re taken to the bill modify view where the relevant data is already filled out for you. You can then add all the missing information from the purchase invoice you've received from your supplier. Add or modify any of the details as needed.

Turning one quote into multiple bills
Compile a single quote for your customer when offering services provided by various third-party partners. Define all service providers on the relevant product lines on the quote. Or do it already on the product card, then the supplier (and other relevant) information is filled out automatically.
When the products or services have been provided by the suppliers, and they have sent you the purchase invoices, add them to Scoro as bills to keep track of all expenses.
You can quickly compile multiple separate bills for suppliers defined in the original quote this way:
- Click the Create from quote... button
- Select Create Bill
- Select multiple bills and click Proceed
- Tick the checkboxes for suppliers for which you want to create the bill; you can also adjust the quantities and unit prices or even compile a partial bill by adjusting the quantities in a case where you only received half of the ordered goods, for example.
- Click the Create bills button to generate the bills. You will be taken to the list view of the bills you just created.
In the meantime, you can quickly get an overview of how far along your purchases are. There’s an indication of whether the items on each quote line have been purchased and/or paid for in the quote detailed view.
Grey stands for not yet purchased, yellow for partially purchased, green for fully purchased, and red for over purchased.
