Invoices

I spot invoices in your emails and show you what you still need to transfer, what will be debited and what's already paid. I remind you before the deadline. Paying is up to you.

When an invoice arrives by email as a PDF or e-invoice, I read the issuer, number, date, amount, due date and bank details. It then shows up under Invoices. There's nothing to set up. I don't count your own outgoing invoices. If the same invoice arrives twice, for example in two accounts, it's listed once.

The tabs

  • City utilities€84.20transfer by Fri
  • Telekom€39.95direct debit
  • Scaleway€12.00paid per bank
Example with demo data
  • To pay: you need to transfer the money. Use copy to grab the IBAN and the Reference.
  • Direct debit: the sender collects the amount, for example by SEPA direct debit.
  • Paid: already paid, by card or PayPal, per receipt, ticked off by you, or matched by the Bank reconciliation with MoneyMoney.
  • All: everything except hidden items.

Use Not my invoice – hide in the invoice's ⋯ menu for anything that isn't an invoice for you. Hidden items move to a fifth tab, Hidden, which appears once there's something hidden – bring them back there with Open again.

How I recognise the payment method

I read the wording of the email and the PDF:

  • "already paid", "charged to your card", "paid via PayPal", "amount due 0.00" or a receipt → paid
  • "direct debit", "SEPA mandate", "mandate reference" → will be debited
  • "please transfer", "payable by", "payment due" → to pay

If none of that is there, the invoice goes to To pay with the label Payment method unclear. If this sender collects by direct debit, tell me once via ⋯ ("Direct debit – always for …"). I remember it for that sender and move their other open invoices too. If a later invoice explicitly says "please transfer", that wins.

Deadlines and reminders

I take the due date from the invoice. If it only says "payable within 14 days", I count from the invoice date. Without any terms, it shows no payment term.

For open invoices with a due date you get a notification 3 days before, on the due date and one day after, each once and only between 8 am and 8 pm. Invoices due soon also appear in Your day under Deadlines. I don't send reminders for direct debits.

When a dunning letter or payment reminder arrives, I attach it to the open invoice from the same sender (same number or same amount). The invoice gets Reminder received and you get a notification straight away.

If something looks wrong

  • Already paid? Tap Paid.
  • Wrongly marked as paid or debited? Tap Open again. This only affects this invoice. If it came from the bank reconciliation, I'll never match that transaction to this invoice again.
  • Not an invoice? Not my invoice – hide.
  • I remembered “direct debit” for a sender but you pay by transfer? On a debited invoice, open the ⋯ menu and choose “I pay by transfer – always for …” – transfer applies again, also for future invoices.
  • Check the details: Open email.
