This Help Article covers:

On import of a Purchase Invoice/Credit Note (Supported Supplier), the importer DOES build a data file of the Invoice/Credit Note details as part of the import process so that Katipolt can process the Invoice/Credit Note’s data.

Once imported, the Invoice/Credit Note displays in the Purchases List where it can be checked, and if needed unlocked, edited, and re-locked again.

On Import, the Purchase importer also imports a PDF copy of the Invoice/Credit Note being imported that can be viewed at a later time. This can be found in the Correspondence Top Tab of the Invoice/Credit Note.

Purchase Invoices/Credit Notes that have a valid Job Reference will be assigned to that Job, making their Product Lines available to be pulled into a Sales Invoice on [Get Costs].

⚠️ NOTE: Only Purchase Invoice/Credit Notes from Supported Suppliers will be fully imported, (a list of these Suppliers displays on the “Import: Choose File to Import” popup) Non-Supported Supplier Purchase Invoice/Credit Notes will display in a panel to the left allowing you to manually key them in. For more information see the Help Article “Purchases – Purchase Invoice/Credit Note PDF Import (Non-Supported Supplier)”.
