Import purchase invoices

You can import invoices issued in the current year or in other years. To carry out this process correctly, you have at your disposal a CSV/Excel template that you simply download, fill in and upload again to the platform.

1. Download the import template

  1. Open the import modal as explained above.

  2. Download the CSV/Excel template to view the import format

  3. Open the downloaded document to be able to work on it.

2. Fill in the template

Fill in the fields below. Those that are essential are marked with an asterisk (*).

Invoice no.*.

Include on each line. We recommend you follow the sample content.

Enter in dd/mm/yyyy format.

Due date dd/mm/yyyy*.

After this date the invoice will change status to Holded.

Change currency

Include it if you want to keep the exchange rate of the document.

In case you leave blank lines between invoices, the template will not be imported. It is important to add the data without leaving space and in a correlative way, as it is not possible to combine lines from different invoices.

  1. From Expenses, access the three-dot menu (⋮) again.

  2. Click on Import

  3. Click the Upload file button

  4. Select the spreadsheet with the completed fields that you have previously saved.
