Bills on Buildertrend's mobile app let you log costs on the go — upload and scan receipts, submit documentation, and keep job costs accurate right from the field, without waiting until you're back at a desktop.

For a full breakdown of what Bills are and how they work, see the Bills Overview article.

Navigating to Bills

Start by choosing a job from your Jobs List.

Next, tap More, then choose Bills from the Financial features list.

Watch: Upload Receipts to Create Bills on Mobile

 Adding a New Bill

From Scratch

Tap the + icon from the Bills tab, enter the applicable details, and tap Save when you're finished.

From AI Bill Upload

From a new bill, tap Upload bills and upload a file or files — like a photo of a receipt or an invoice — instead of entering the details manually.

Buildertrend uses OCR (optical character recognition) and AI to scan the file and automatically fill in key details, including the title, subcontractor or vendor, dates, and cost items — so you don't have to type it all in by hand.

From a Purchase Order

Select the Purchase Order, scroll to the Bills/Lien Waivers section, and select New Bill. Enter the percentage of the PO you'd like to bill, then select Create Bill. Review the bill details, then select Save.

From the Home Screen (Quick Add) 

You don't even need to navigate into a job's Bills tab to capture one. From the Home screen, tap the blue + (Quick Add) button and select Scan Receipt/Bill.

Snap a photo of the receipt or invoice on the spot, and it's sent through the same OCR/AI process to create a draft bill with the details filled in for you.
