Submit a bill

POST/partners/bills/{uuid}/submit

Submits a draft or rejected bill for approval and posts its accrual journal.

Moves `approvalStatus` to `submitted` and clears any earlier rejection. Works on bills and vendor memos. The bill needs a vendor, a date, a due date, and at least one line item. Submitting posts the accrual journal — only drafts stay unposted. A caller who is not a workspace owner or admin must submit a bill before approve accepts it. No request body. MCP equivalent: COUNT_submit_bill.
