Hey there, amcorelis,
I can help you include a penalty to your past due bill.
If you're adding the fee to a bill that was not sent yet, we can edit the transaction and add a new line item for the penalty. Let me guide you how to do that:
- Open a past due bill.
- Click a blank line item, click Add new under the Account column.
- Add an Expense account for the penalty.
- Choose the appropriate Detail Type.
- Enter the fee name in the Name field.
- Click Save and Close.
- Add the late fee amount in the Amount field.
- Click on Save and Close.
Once done, you can go ahead and resend the bill to your vendor. However, if the bill is already paid, you can create a separate expense transaction for the penalty. Follow the steps below:
- Click the Plus icon the choose Expense.
- Select the vendor name in the Payee field.
- Under the Account column, add a new Expense account for the fee.
- Once done, add the Amount.
- Click Save and Close.

That should do it, amcorelis. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you. I'm always around to get things figured out for you.
