What Skileo records
- Money in: an income. Money out: an expense. It shows in Finances with your other records.
- The total is the line’s amount, split into net and VAT at the rate you chose. The date and the currency are the line’s.
- The record is paid in full by one bank payment, matched to the line. The line is now Matched.
The PDF
- One PDF of 5 MB at most.
- Skileo reads it with AI. If it can’t read it, a message tells you so and the form stays as it was.
- After reading, switch Use uploaded invoice data off to go back to what you had typed, and on again to use the PDF’s data.
- Click Remove to take the file off.
Common questions
The invoice is already in Skileo. Should I use this?
No. Match the line to it instead, so that it isn’t counted twice. See Match a transaction to an invoice or expense.
What if I undo the match?
The record stays, but becomes unpaid. Delete it yourself if you don’t need it. See Undo a match or delete a transaction.
Can I add the record without a bank line?
Yes. See Add an income and Add a purchase invoice.
