Connected Billing
Link suppliers and buyers by company code. Seller raises the invoice — buyer gets a draft purchase to review and save. One click, both books update.
Stop double entry between businesses
Stop double entry between supplier and buyer
Send invoice → it auto-appears in the buyer's books. Review & save — one click.
Connected Billing ends the WhatsApp-PDF-and-retype loop. When your supplier is on Simple Bills, their invoice lands as a draft purchase on your books — you review and save, stock and GST match. You invoice a linked buyer? Same flow the other way. Distributors and multi-GSTIN groups use this daily; rental businesses also get equipment rental billing by hour or day.
Billing software with connected ledger for distributors
If you distribute goods to retailers or run a multi-GSTIN group, you need billing that talks to the ledger — not a separate invoice tool and a separate accounts package. Simple Bills is billing software with a connected ledger: every sale, purchase, payment, and Connected Billing draft posts to customer and vendor ledgers automatically.
- Invoice once, ledger updates — GST sales post to customer receivable; payments clear the balance with no duplicate entry
- Connected Billing to linked buyers — your invoice lands as their draft purchase; both ledgers stay aligned on GST and stock
- Supplier side too — when your distributor invoices you on Enso, review & save posts to vendor payable and stock inward
- Vendor payable ageing — see what you owe distributors and when, from the same books you bill from
- IGST / CGST+SGST — state-wise tax on every line, ready for month-end GST summary and filing pack

The daily headache we fix
Your distributor invoices you on WhatsApp. You re-type every line as a purchase. Stock and GST never quite match. With Connected Billing, the supplier's invoice is already on your books — you just review and save.
Review & save — not re-enter
Incoming supply appears as a draft purchase with lines, GST, and amounts filled. Check once, save. Stock and ledger post automatically.
Rental bookings
Items with hourly or daily rates, calendar view, optional auto-invoice when rental ends.
Separate GSTIN per company
Each registration has its own books — switch company in the header like you switch financial year.
How to manage equipment rental billing and deposits
Rental businesses juggle bookings, security deposits, final charges, and refunds — often in a notebook while GST invoices live somewhere else. Here is how Simple Bills keeps rental billing and deposits on the books from booking to refund.
- Set up rental items — hourly or daily rates, linked to your product catalog for GST and stock
- Book from Quick Booking or full form — pick item, customer, dates; optional cash or bank deposit at booking time
- Deposit posts to your books — recorded as payment received; applied when you raise the sales invoice from Pending invoices
- Track on the calendar — see what's out, when it returns, and which jobs still need invoicing
- Invoice when the job ends — pending rental invoices prefill from the booking; deposit reduces balance due on the GST bill
- Refund unused deposit — record customer refunds (cash or bank) without cancelling the rental; net deposit stays visible on the booking
- Optional auto-invoice — schedule invoice when the rental period closes so nothing slips through
- Booking printout shows deposits received and balance due before final invoice
- Rental revenue report — invoiced income, collections, and margin for the period
- Same GST invoices, customer ledger, and month-end reports as your retail sales
