Lessn automatically pulls the bill from your connected accounting software, like Xero or MYOB, so you can schedule or pay the bill directly. Each bill in Lessn has a status that shows where it is in the payment process.
Draft
A new bill has been imported from your accounting software and has not been scheduled for payment or paid yet. At this stage, you can choose a payment method and either schedule the bill for a future date or pay it immediately.
Scheduled
A scheduled bill has a confirmed payment date set in Lessn. The system will automatically process the payment on that date. You can still cancel or modify the payment details before the payment is processed.
Processing
A bill marked as processing means the payment is currently being handled. This usually takes a few minutes but may vary depending on your payment method and bank processing times. Once the payment is completed, the bill will be marked as reconciled in your accounting software.
Error
If a bill has an error status, it means the payment could not be processed. This may happen due to insufficient funds, an expired or invalid payment method, or a bank decline. You can click on the bill in Lessn to view the error details and take action.
Tracking and Managing Your Bill
Every bill in Lessn moves through a clear process. A new bill is imported but not yet scheduled for payment. Once scheduled, it has a set payment date, and when processing, the payment is underway. If there’s an issue, the bill will show an error status, letting you know what needs to be fixed.
Understanding these statuses ensures you can manage payments smoothly and keep bills reconciled in your accounting software.
