The Bill Payments Data Model is designed to standardise and simplify the management of bill payment information across various accounting platforms.

Unified bill payment properties: The model unifies essential core payment details, such as payment date, payment mode, currency, and amount, ensuring consistent access to payment data.
Associated data linkage: The data model connects bill payments to related information, such as bills, contacts, and accounts, using platform-specific IDs for easy cross-referencing.
Currency conversion support: The currency_rate property provides the exchange rate between the payment currency and the base currency, facilitating multi-currency payment handling and reporting.
