New Feature: Default Bill Categories, Due Dates, and Amounts
Some new additions to Corduroy will make manually entering bills much faster. For each vendor, you may now choose a default bill category, default bill due day, and amount. When entering a new bill for a vendor that has these values filled out, the bill details will default to those values.
For many bills that you receive every month, Corduroy's recurring bills are a great way to automatically enter these on a given day. Sometimes, however, a bill may have a different amount each month and require manual entry.
For example, if your monthly phone bill is different every month due to usage charges, you may have to enter it manually each time. In this case, you can edit the vendor record for your phone company, select a default bill category such as "Expense: Phone Service", and enter the day of the month that the bills are always due on. The next time you receive a phone bill, click "New Bill" from the home screen and when selecting the phone company vendor, the due date and category will be automatically filled out with these values. Simply enter the amount due and click Create.
