Imports from Excel - Issued Invoice Line Items

Line Items of Issued Invoices – Excel Import Tutorial Part 2

Written by Petr Pech

In this chapter, we will look at a specific example of importing line items of issued invoices and sales receipts from Excel. For general principles of Excel imports, we recommend reading the first chapter - Introduction. Excel imports are available from the Business plan and above.

Provided your license includes the import of issued invoices — which also covers the import of their line items — the import will be available at Tools -> Import -> Import from Excel -> Line items of issued invoices and sales receipts.

Recommendation: If you already have issued invoice line items created in Flexi, you can export them (via Sales -> Document Items -> Line items of issued invoices and sales receipts) and use them as a template for subsequent imports.

We can now proceed to importing specific line items of issued invoices or sales receipts from Excel. We will be importing the following file: fakVydPolozky_vzor.xlsx

Note 1: Line items can only be imported if the document they are to be imported into already exists.

Since the Excel file contains column headers, check the "Ignore first row (column headers)" option when selecting columns.

Note 2: The order of columns selected for import must exactly match the order of columns in the Excel file.

Document - The internal number of the issued invoice into which you want to import the line items. Required field.

Order - The position of the line item within the invoice; not required. Enter as a number.

Label - The label for the given line item; a text field.

Name - The name of the given line item; a text field.

Quantity - The quantity of the given line item.

Unit price - The unit price of the given line item; required.

Tax base [CZK] - The tax base in CZK for the given line item (Unit price × Quantity). Not required — it is calculated automatically based on the Unit price, Quantity, and VAT [%] fields.

VAT [%] - The VAT rate as a percentage. Enter as a number (e.g. 21).

VAT [CZK] - The VAT amount in CZK for the given line item. Not required — it is calculated automatically based on the Unit price, Quantity, and VAT [%] fields.

All properties of the issued invoice line items register can be found at:
https://demo.flexibee.eu/c/demo/faktura-vydana-polozka/properties
After clicking the "OK" button in the column selection dialog, a window will appear showing the data types and properties of the selected columns. Among other things, the required special values for each column can be looked up here.

After confirming the properties of the imported columns, a window will appear showing a summary of how many newly created or updated records will be added to the relevant registers.

If the import does not complete successfully and the Excel file needs to be corrected, a window with specific error details should appear, along with the option to send an error report to Flexi support.

If the import completes successfully, the new or updated line items will appear on the relevant issued invoice (they can also be found in the Sales -> Document Items -> Line items of issued invoices and sales receipts register).
