Agencies: Invoice Conversion Workflow
Practical workflow for agencies teams: download PDFs, convert to CSV or Excel, and validate before import. Tailored to pass-through vendor costs and client billables.
If you're managing multiple client projects and processing vendor invoices, having an efficient workflow is crucial. Start by downloading the invoice PDFs from your vendors, ensuring you have all relevant documents for your records. Once you have the PDFs, use BillToSheet to convert them into CSV or Excel format, which will allow you to easily manipulate the data and prepare it for billing clients. This step is particularly useful when you need to aggregate costs and prepare detailed reports for your clients.
After conversion, it's essential to validate the data before importing it into your accounting system. Check for any discrepancies or errors that may have occurred during the conversion process, as this can save you time and frustration down the line. A common gotcha is overlooking the formatting of certain fields, such as dates or currency, which may require manual adjustment. By taking the time to double-check the data, you ensure that your invoices are accurate and reflect true costs for your clients, leading to smoother transactions and improved trust in your agency's financial processes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should agencies users verify first after conversion?
Check invoice totals, tax lines, and currency against the PDF, then reconcile line items to the accounts or categories you use for media invoices, contractor bills, and software seats by client.
Can I use bulk conversion for many PDFs?
Yes. Log in to use bulk upload for multiple invoices, then spot-check high-value vendors before month-end close.
