Expenses

OCR reader for expense invoices

Upload the photo or PDF of a supplier invoice and zBilling fills in the expense for you: supplier, date, total, IVA rate, invoice number and category. You check it and save it.

How it works

  1. Scan

    In Expenses, tap “Scan with AI” and choose a photo or PDF of the invoice or receipt.

  2. Check

    The form is filled in with the supplier, date, total, IVA rate, invoice number and category. Check the details: automatic reading can make mistakes with blurry or unusual documents.

  3. Save

    Tap “Save expense”. The input IVA goes into your quarterly taxes and the expense is stored with its attachment.

From the supplier invoice to your items

If the invoice has product lines, a table of detected items appears with description, barcode, quantity, cost and amount. You set the margin (one for all lines or line by line) and, with “Import to Items”, new products are created and stock is topped up for the ones you already have.

Expenses by email

On the Pro and Ilimitado plans, your account has its own mailbox along the lines of facturas.tunombre@zcom.es. Forward the invoices you receive to it (or give it to your suppliers) and every attached PDF or photo becomes an expense waiting for review, read by the same scanner. Up to 5 attachments per email are accepted, of up to 8 MB each.

Keeping track of what comes in

  • A To review tab with the expenses created by the scanner that nobody has checked yet.
  • Possible duplicate warning if there is already an expense from the same supplier with the same invoice number, or for the same amount on the same date.
  • IRPF withholding on invoices from professionals, with the amount payable to the supplier.
  • Due date, payment status and ledger account (Spanish chart of accounts, PGC) suggested by category, editable by your accountant.
  • Recurring expenses, weekly, monthly, quarterly or annual (Pro and Ilimitado plans).
