Every way to get invoices into Odoo — compared
There are several ways to get invoices into Odoo Accounting. Most of them are slow, error-prone, or both.
Manual entry
SlowestOpen each PDF, re-type every field into Odoo one by one. Doesn't scale, and typos create reconciliation nightmares down the line.
Odoo email alias
LimitedForward invoices to a special Odoo email. Creates draft bills, but OCR accuracy is hit-or-miss and you still verify every field manually.
CSV / spreadsheet import
Bulk optionExport data, map columns to Odoo fields, import. Decent for one-time migrations, but tedious and fragile for ongoing processing.
