๐Ÿ“– Overview

Transport Bill (Trans Bill) is used to record the purchase invoice received from a transporter for transportation services. Whenever a hired transporter submits a freight bill against your LR (Lorry Receipt) or Full Load, you should record that invoice using this voucher.

This voucher works like a Purchase Invoice. Once saved, the transporter becomes your creditor (payable account), and the outstanding amount is reflected in the transporter's ledger.
