Payables

The Payables page is your central hub for managing bills. It allows you to track what needs to be paid, review completed payments, and take action on outstanding balances—all in one place.

What Appears on the Payables Page

All bills created in Propra will appear on the Payables page. This gives you full visibility into your outstanding and paid obligations.

Each bill includes the following details:

  • Posted Date: When the bill was created

  • Payee: Who the payment is owed to

  • Bill Number: For example, a maintenance request or case ID

  • Property/Unit: The associated property or unit

  • Owner: The owner tied to the property (important to verify accuracy)

  • Description: Details of the bill

  • Amount: Total bill amount

  • Due Date: When the payment is due

  • Balance: Remaining amount owed

Overdue Bills

If a bill is past its due date, a red indicator will appear showing how many days it is overdue.


Important: Expenses vs Bills

It’s important to understand the difference:

  • Bills → Appear on the Payables page and represent money that still needs to be paid

  • Expenses → Do not appear on this page because they indicate a payment has already been made

Expenses are automatically recorded in the General Ledger (GL) instead.


Filtering and Viewing Bills

You can easily organize and locate bills using filters:

  • Teams

  • Properties

  • Date ranges

  • Status:

    • Outstanding (unpaid bills)

    • Paid (completed payments)

    Using the funnel icon beside the property filter will allow you to clear the filters


Using the checkbox selector on the left side, you can quickly take action on groups of bills:

  • Urgent Bills: Automatically selects overdue bills that require immediate attention

  • Funded Bills: Selects bills that are ready to be paid based on available property funds

    • Prioritizes overdue bills and those due soonest


Editing a Bill

To make changes:

  • Click anywhere on the bill row

  • The bill will open for editing

  • Update details as needed and save


Paying a Bill

To pay a bill:

  1. Select the checkbox next to the bill

  2. Choose one of the following options:

Post

  • Records that the payment was made outside of Propra

Process Payment

  • Available only if Autopay is enabled and the payee is set up

  • Initiates an actual payment transaction within Propra

If the Process Payment button is grey this means:

  • You do not have Autopay enabled

  • The Payee is not set up for Autopay

  • The property is not turned on in your Autopay settings

  • Payments are not turned on in your Autopay settings


Partial Payments

You can also make partial payments:

  • Select the bill and choose Post or Process Payment

  • Click the + icon

  • Double-click the amount to edit it

  • Enter the partial payment amount (e.g., $300 on a $500 bill)

The remaining balance will stay on the Payables page until fully paid.


Payment Details

When processing or posting a payment, you’ll see:

  • Payment Account (with available balance)

  • Posting Date (date the payment is made)

  • Payment Method

  • Batch ID (for tracking grouped payments)


Additional Tabs

Selected Payments

Shows all bills currently selected for payment. You can adjust payment amounts here.

Suggested Deposits

Displays recommended deposits for owners/properties, allowing you to deposit funds while making payments. Select the deposits and click on Post.


Finalizing Payments

After reviewing:

  • Select Post to record offline payments

  • Select Process Payment to initiate payments via Autopay

Once processed, the batch is sent to the Approvals Page, where a final accounting review is completed before funds are transferred through the bank.


You can export and share payment data easily:

  • Use the Export button (top right) to download the Payables list

  • Download the CPA005 file to process payments directly through your bank
