Step 3: Verify the expense details
Ensure that the information on the expense form is correct (e.g., supplier, amount, category).
Split the expense: If your invoice includes multiple items, you can split the expense into several articles.
Verify the VAT Rate:
Be sure to check the VAT rate applied to the expense.
Handling negative amounts on invoices
Invoices may sometimes include negative amounts due to:
Refunds: Issued for overpaid services or returned products.
Returned Deposits: For items like bottles or other refundable deposits.
Invoice Adjustments: Such as credits or discounts applied after the initial invoice.
You can encode articles with negative amounts by simply putting a "-" sign in front of the amount.
Option 2 : create expense manually
If you don’t have your receipt or invoice available immediately, you can create an expense manually and attach the file later.
Step 1: Go to Expenses
Navigate to the “Expenses” section of the app.
Step 2: Create manual Expense
Accountable Web : Tap the “Create an expense manually” button at the top right of the screen | Mobile app : Click on "Manually input expense" |
| 
|
Step 3: Fill in the form with the expense details
Enter the details of the expense, including supplier, category, amount, and VAT rate.
Negative Amounts: If your expense includes negative amounts (such as a refund or credit), you can directly encode these negative amounts as articles in the manual entry.
Step 4: Save the Expense
Save the expense once you’ve entered all the necessary information.
Important Note: Once you have the correct file (invoice/receipt), don’t forget to attach it to the manually created expense later to keep everything in order.
Option 3 : import expense by email
You can also import expenses by forwarding emails that contain PDF invoices or receipts directly to Accountable.
Step 1: Forward the email with PDF attachment
Simply forward the email with your PDF expense attached (from the same email address you use Accountable with) to the email address expenses@accountable.eu Your expenses will automatically be imported into your expense list.
Step 2: Review and validate the expense
Once your expense is imported, you can review and validate the details to ensure everything is accurate.
Important Note: If you’re registered with Peppol (with Accountable as access point for receiving invoices), you will automatically receive your invoices directly into Accountable. These will be available for review and validation in your app.
