Upload purchase invoice through email

1

To everyone, has anyone managed to find a way to upload a document (Purchase Invoice) via email?

2

Upload?

Manager only supports SMTP (i.e. outgoing email) and not incoming email protocols such as POP (POP3 most recent), so it is not possible to retrieve emails with attachments into Manager.

I was hoping someone has found a way to do it perhaps through API. I hope this get’s into ideas, that Manager.io be able to receive and upload documents into purchase invoices through email.

I believe that will never happen. You are suggesting that someone else’s sales invoice, in their own format, attached to or included in an email, could somehow be parsed into a Manager purchase invoice. How do you propose that could happen?

It is not clear what you are actually imagining would happen if implemented.

  • I suspect you are looking for b2b electronic document interchange, see Search results for 'b2b' - Manager Forum

  • If you just want to copy invoices attached to emails to Invoices you have already created in Manager, then you manually finding the matching email / Manager transaction and dragging them between application is likely to be the fastest and most reliable method.

There are many software now that can parse a document. However, what i meant here was just the act of uploading/attaching the document into purchase invoice module through email. This means that each account/company gets a specific or assigned email address and whenever someone sends email with attachment to this address, manager will make one empty entry. Just that. At least to start.

If a program modification is made it needs to be applicable to a broad customer base not just OK for one user.

How to match an email to a specific Manager invoice varies a lot between invoices and business.

Your proposed method is not a general solution.
