All Bill Types in One Form

APARBooks simplifies construction accounting by allowing contractors to combine all types of bills, including normal service bills, subcontract invoices, material charges, and reimbursement claims, into a single, unified bill form.

This all-in-one format reduces entry duplication, and saving time. By capturing every bill type in one place, your project costs stay transparent, your financial records remain clean, and your team spends less time navigating fragmented paperwork. It leads to a smarter, more efficient accounting, built specifically for construction workflows.

  • Simplify invoicing tasks

Link Supplier Bills

Pay Subcontractor's Supplier

With APARBooks, you can easily link supplier bills directly to subcontractors, ensuring that any materials paid for by the general contractor are accurately tracked and automatically deducted from the appropriate subcontract balances.

This eliminates the need for manual calculations, spreadsheets, or chasing down paperwork. Whether the materials are tied to a single subcontract or shared across multiple contracts, APARBooks keeps your records clean, your cost allocations precise, and your job costing fully aligned.

Owner Payment Entry

Owner Payment Entry

With APARBooks, you can easily log direct payments made by the project owner to subcontractors or lower-tier vendors. These transactions are recorded outside the general contractor's payment flow but still affect the overall contract value.

APARBooks ensures these payments are captured clearly, maintaining a complete and auditable history of all owner-to-sub transactions. This gives construction bookkeepers full visibility into how much has been paid, to whom, and how it impacts billing, retainage, and future pay applications. No more chasing missing records or adjusting manually, every owner paid amount is tracked and reflected in your reports with precision.

  • Accurate tracking
  • Payment status
  • Clear history
  • Project steps
Third Parties Payment

Third Party Payment Entry

In construction, it's common for workers, superintendents, or other individuals to purchase materials using personal funds. With APARBooks, you can easily log and track these third party payments, keeping all records accurate and audit ready. Every out-of-pocket purchase made on behalf of the project is recorded with clear details, ensuring full transparency and accountability across your job costing.

This feature simplifies your bookkeeping by organizing these external payments in one place, keeping them separate from vendor bills.

  • Accurate tracking
  • Transparent transactions
  • Clear records
  • Simplified bookkeeping
Subcontractor Payment Ledger

Subcontractor Ledger Report

With APARBooks, you can generate professional, exportable subcontractor ledger reports, making it easy to share accurate, organized financial records with your subcontractors. The subcontractor ledger report includes essential details like contract value, change orders, payments, material deductions, reimbursements, and current balances.

These reports help eliminate payment disputes, and maintain trust between general contractors and subcontractors. Instead of going back and forth over spreadsheets or emails, you can provide a clear, consistent record that both parties agree on.

The subcontractor ledger report from APARBooks strengthens communication and helps build long-term working relationships.

APARBooks allows you to clearly distinguish material bills submitted under a subcontractor's contract. These material charges are linked directly to the subcontractor and deducted automatically from their contract balance. Whether materials are purchased by the GC or billed by the subcontractor, our system ensures they are accurately tracked, reflected in the subcontractor ledger, and aligned with project cost codes. This avoids confusion and keeps billing transparent for all parties.

Yes. APARBooks helps prevent duplicate bill entries by detecting invoice numbers already used in your system. When entering a new bill, if the invoice number matches a previously recorded one, APARBooks will immediately display an alert, allowing you to review and avoid posting duplicates. This built-in safeguard keeps your records accurate and protects your subcontractor ledger from billing errors.

No. In APARBooks, each bill is linked to a single subcontract or cost item to maintain clear accounting and accurate tracking. This one-to-one relationship ensures that every expense is categorized correctly and avoids confusion in job costing. If expenses need to be split, we recommend submitting separate bills for each contract or cost item to keep your records clean and auditable.

APARBooks provides clear classification options when entering vendor bills. A normal bill is a standalone invoice not tied to a specific subcontract, while a contract bill is directly linked to a subcontract agreement.

If a subcontractor has multiple contracts under the same project, APARBooks allows you to manage each contract separately. When entering a bill, you must select the specific contract it belongs to, ensuring that bills and payments are accurately applied to the correct agreement. This prevents any mix-up between contracts, keeps your subcontractor ledger clean, and gives you a precise breakdown of each contract's financial status within the same project.
