Purchasing

The shoebox has been abolished.

Send purchase invoices to your own Readybooks address, or photograph the receipt the day you get it. You fill in the rest, book it to the right category, and the input VAT finds its way into your return.

Arriving the way that suits.

Each administration gets its own email address. What your supplier sends there arrives as a purchase document with the PDF attached as evidence. Loose receipts you photograph from your phone. Receive an electronic invoice in UBL or Peppol and the lines are read in rather than retyped.

Someone sees it first, then you pay.

With more than one user you do not want everyone queueing up payments. In the purchase workflow a document moves from received to approved to payable, with a role that may do each step. Who approved what and when is fixed in the audit log.

Paying without retyping.

Select the invoices you want to pay and Readybooks turns them into a SEPA payment file you upload at your bank. The amount, the counter-account and the payment reference come from the document, so nothing goes wrong in transcription.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to retype every receipt?

You fill in the amounts and the supplier, but you never have to print or file anything: the photo or PDF stays attached to the entry as evidence and travels with your export. Electronic invoices in UBL or Peppol are read in automatically.

Can Readybooks pay my suppliers?

Readybooks produces a SEPA payment file that you upload at your bank yourself. We do not execute payments and hold no payment rights on your account; bank connections are read-only.

How long are my receipts kept?

For as long as your administration exists, and after you cancel it stays in read-only mode free of charge so you can meet your retention obligation. You can export everything at any time.

Can my bookkeeper process purchases?

Yes. The Bookkeeper role may post purchase documents, match payments and lock periods, but may not send invoices on your behalf or manage users.
