Hello there, rygregson. When saving a receipt as a bill, the app requires you to add a payment account (such as a bank account) since bills are associated with payments.
If you would prefer not to link a bank account, you can save your receipt as a receipt instead. This allows you to categorize and store it as an expense without needing to add a bank account.
