Create the record

  1. Open Bank in the menu of Accounting, then Transactions.
  2. Click the actions button (⋮) of an unmatched line, then Add new record in Finances. The window Add finance record from transaction opens, with the bank line on top.
  3. If you have the invoice as a PDF, add it in Attached invoice document. With Automatically populate data from the uploaded invoice file on, Skileo reads it and fills in the form.
  4. Check or fill in:
    • Category;
    • Customer for money in, or Supplier for money out. Click the plus button to add a new contact;
    • Document number;
    • VAT (%), your company’s rate unless you change it.
  5. Click Save, or Save and Edit to open the new record and complete it.

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?
