FAQs

  1. Can I upload attachments when importing invoices?

    • No, the system does not support uploading attachments during the invoice import process. You will need to add attachments separately after importing.

  2. Can I import invoices with multiple lines?

    • Yes, but you need to duplicate rows for each line item of the invoice. Each line should be entered on a separate row with the same invoice number.

  3. How do I track the status of my import?

    • You can track the status of the import on the Import Invoices page. Any errors will be displayed there for you to review and fix.

  4. What happens if I select "Draft" status for an invoice?

    • If you select Draft, the invoice will be saved as a draft and will not be submitted for matching or approval until it's updated.

  5. Is there a limit to the number of invoices I can import at once?

    • There is no specific limit mentioned, but it is recommended to import manageable batches to minimize errors and ensure successful uploads.
