TIP: If you are entering a recurring bill from a vendor, instead of creating the bill from scratch, duplicate the previous bill using the Action menu.

The duplicated bill will have most items already selected for you, reducing the amount of data entry.

From the Vendor Bills screen, click Create.

You'll be presented with a Vendor Bill form view.
