Batch upload for batch invoicing

In our company we have an operations system that generates sales invoices. Jobs are created, managed and finalised in this system and part of the finalisation process includes the generation of a sales invoice to client.

 

The operations team generate hundreds of invoices per week. However the financial reporting is done on Quickbooks, meaning the sales invoices generated by the operations system need to be replicated on Quickbooks.  Currently the finance team manually recreates the invoices in Quickbooks one by one, by manually entering the data from the sales invoices generated by the operations system, into Quickbooks. As you can imagine, this takes hours.

 

Now, it is possible to generate a report from the operations system to extract all the sales invoice details (customer name, currency, amount etc.) and export it to Excel (.csv, .xlsx. etc).

 

In most basic, financial reporting systems it is possible to batch upload such information through a .csv, .xlsx files etc. and automate the process. I would like to know if this is possible with Quickbooks.

Batch upload for batch invoicing

Welcome to the community!

 

Notably, to perform a batch upload for invoicing in QuickBooks Online (QBO), the spreadsheet should be in CSV format. When preparing your spreadsheet, ensure it includes columns like the date, description, and amount. Primarily, QBO uses these three columns for importing data, so you can remove any additional columns to streamline the process. Once your spreadsheet is ready, save it as a CSV file before uploading it to QuickBooks Online for batch invoicing.

 

You can follow the steps below on how to perform a batch upload for invoicing:

 

Prepare Your Spreadsheet:

 

  • Create a spreadsheet in .csv format with columns like Invoice number, Customer, Invoice date, Due date, Item amount, etc.
  • Ensure each line entry has the necessary details if invoices have multiple line items.

 

Upload Your Spreadsheet:

 

  • Go to Settings ⚙ and select Import data.
  • Choose Invoices and upload your spreadsheet.
  • Map your spreadsheet's columns with QuickBooks invoice fields.

 

Import Invoices:

 

  • Review the import summary and select Start import.
  • Confirm successful import or note any failures.

 

Create Batch Invoices:

 

  • Select + New and then Batch transactions.
  • Enter invoice details for multiple customers in separate lines.
  • Save the batch of invoices.

 

Send the Same Invoice to Multiple Customers:

 

  • Select + New and then Batch transactions.
  • Create the invoice you want to duplicate and choose Duplicate invoice for multiple customers.
  • Select the customers to send the invoice to and save.
