Upload Invoices from Excel

Last updated: Last reviewed: 4 min read

Before you start, prepare a CSV or XLSX file with the right columns. Use this guide when you do not have a live accounting connection; for the overview, see Connect Accounting.

Overview

File import is best for one-off uploads, testing, or organizations that keep books outside Xero and QuickBooks Online. After upload, TaxConnect validates rows, applies your tax mapping, and sends the batch onward.

Prepare your file

  • Use .csv or .xlsx.
  • Keep one row per line item.
  • Match your taxType values to existing tax mappings and verify the format in the sandbox first.

Import the file

  1. Open Invoices inside the target organization.
  2. Choose Import from CSV/Excel and authorize the upload if prompted.
  3. Select your file and review validation results before submission.

If you need to reconnect a source later, return to the parent guide and update the connection first. Common errors usually come from missing columns or mismatched tax values.
