The 'Costs' Workspace

The Costs Workspace contains all of the receipts, invoices and other financial documents that your business uses to purchase goods and services.

This is separate to the ‘Sales’ Workspace, where financial documents for your businesses accounts receivable are extracted and stored.

Each time a user on the account adds a new Cost document to Receipt Bank, we'll extract the visible data and present the item in the Inbox of the Costs section.

Your Costs Workspace is split into five sections:

• Inbox
• In Processing
• To Review
• Ready
• Archive

The Inbox displays all your items that are in the Ready or To Review sections.

In Processing displays the items that are currently being processed and an estimate on the time remaining.

Ready means that all of the required information has been completed and this item is ready to be published or export as a CSV or PDF.

To Review means that the document is missing some information (usually the 'Category' field), which you will need to complete before the item can be published or exported as a CSV or PDF.

The Archive is where your items are kept after they have been published or manually archived.

The columns in each section indicate the following:

1. ‘User’ Field: Indicates which Client User submitted the item.
2. ‘Type’ Field: Indicates the Type of document has been submitted. (E.G: Invoice, Receipt, Credit Note). Clicking on the Type field for a single item will navigate you to the Receipt Details page, which provides a more in-depth view of the item.
3. ‘Date’ Field: Indicates the date that the document was issued. If Receipt Bank cannot detect a date on the document image, it will use the date that the item was submitted instead.
4. ‘Supplier’ Field: Indicates the supplier who issued the document.
5. ‘Total’ Field: Indicates the currency and total value of the item, including the tax amount.
6. ‘Tax’ Field: Indicates the tax amount of the item.
7. 'Payment Field': Indicates the method of payment.
8. 'Match Field': Indicates whether a Bank Match or a Paperwork Match is present.
9. ‘Category’ Field: Indicates which section of your Chart of Accounts this item will be recorded under. You can quickly edit this using the dropdown menu in each row.
10. ‘Note’ Field: Receipt Bank will leave Notes next to items that require attention. These will let you know important information about an item that may not be immediately visible. (E.G: duplicate items that have been submitted and automatically merged).
11. ‘Status’ Field: This indicates whether an item has; been viewed, is ready to be published, or has been edited. 

You can click on each of these fields to organise your inbox according to their criteria.

You can transfer documents between the Costs and Sales Workspaces by selecting the item using the checkboxes down the left-hand side of the page and clicking ’Tools’ and ‘Convert to Sales’.
