Every way to get invoices into Sage Accounting — compared

Manual entry and ad-hoc imports create avoidable work. Tailride keeps supplier invoices moving into Sage with a reviewable audit trail.

Manual entry

Slowest

Open every PDF and retype supplier, date, amount, ledger account and VAT details into Sage.

Email forwarding

Limited

Forward documents to a mailbox, then still check fields, duplicates and VAT treatment by hand.

Spreadsheet import

Fragile

Map columns and upload batches. Useful for migrations, but difficult to maintain for daily invoices.

Frequently asked questions

Which Sage products does this integration support?

Tailride connects to Sage Accounting, also sold as Sage Business Cloud Accounting — the cloud product you sign in to at accounting.sage.com. Desktop products such as Sage 50 are not supported.

How does Tailride send invoices to Sage?

You connect Sage once by signing in with your Sage login. After you review the extracted data, Tailride creates a purchase invoice and attaches the original PDF to it.

Does Tailride code invoices to my own chart of accounts?

Yes. Tailride syncs the ledger accounts your Sage business posts purchases to, learns how you have coded each supplier before, and codes new invoice lines to those same accounts. You pick a fallback account for anything it cannot place.

What if my Sage login has more than one business?

You choose which business Tailride posts to, and you can switch it later. Each business has its own ledger accounts, so Tailride asks you to re-sync the chart of accounts after a switch.

Does the integration support credit notes?

Yes. Supplier credit notes are exported as Sage purchase credit notes, so refunds reduce the expense instead of adding to it.

How are VAT and reverse-charge invoices handled?

Tailride matches each line to a Sage tax rate, prefers a reverse-charge rate when the document states one, and never substitutes a domestic VAT rate for foreign VAT it cannot reclaim. If your business is not registered for VAT, invoices are booked gross so no cost is lost.

Can Tailride export invoices in other currencies?

Yes, when multi-currency is enabled in Sage. If your business only books in its base currency, Tailride can convert the invoice at the exchange rate for its issue date and record the original amount on the document.
