Exporting Conversion History for Audits
Learn how to use your BillToSheet conversion history for audit trails. Document what was converted, when, and prepare records for internal or external audits.
When preparing for an audit, having a clear record of your invoice conversions can be invaluable. You might need this information to demonstrate compliance with financial regulations or to justify your accounting practices. By exporting your conversion history, you can provide auditors with detailed insights into what documents were converted, the dates of those conversions, and any specific notes relevant to each transaction.
To export your conversion history, start by navigating to the 'History' section of your BillToSheet dashboard. From there, you can select the date range for which you want to retrieve records and choose the format you'd like to export, such as CSV or Excel. Make sure to double-check the selected time frame, as missing entries from the wrong dates can lead to confusion during an audit. After exporting, review the file to ensure that all necessary details are included, such as invoice amounts and conversion statuses.
One common pitfall is overlooking the need for granularity in your conversion records. If you frequently convert documents, consider labeling each conversion with relevant tags or notes that can aid in audits. This will help you quickly identify specific transactions later on. Additionally, remember to maintain a backup of your conversion history, as relying solely on digital records can pose risks if data is inadvertently deleted or altered.
Frequently Asked Questions

Your dashboard shows each conversion with date, invoice details (vendor, number, total), and download links. This provides an audit trail of what was converted and when.
How long is conversion history retained?
Logged-in users can access conversion history for 30 days. Downloaded files are stored for 30 days. For longer audit retention, download and archive your CSV files externally.

What should auditors look for in conversion records?
Auditors may want to verify that invoice data was accurately extracted. Keep your original PDFs and compare key fields (invoice number, total, date) to the CSV output for sample testing.
How do I prove data integrity for audit?
For critical audits, retain original PDFs alongside converted CSVs. The consistent structure of our output (invoice details + line items) allows auditors to trace from source document to imported data.
