How to upload a whole folder of receipts, invoices and quotes
Instead of attaching every receipt or invoice to an item by hand, you can upload the whole folder at once. ArchiBoard reads the files, detects suppliers, amounts and line items, and suggests matching estimate items. This saves time and reduces mistakes when recording payments.
- 1
Open document upload
Open the project, then «Estimates» (the project-wide estimate, not a room estimate). Click «Receipts & quotes» next to «Import».
- 2
Add files or a folder
Click «Choose files» or «Choose folder», or drag files and folders into the window. If the documents are on Google Drive, paste the folder link into «Google Drive folder or file link» and click «Upload». The folder must be shared with «Anyone with the link». Subfolders are not read; up to 100 files can be uploaded at a time.

Check the recognised data
ArchiBoard reads each file (PDF, JPG, PNG, WEBP): it detects the document type, supplier, date, amount and line items, then suggests an estimate item. Check the table: make sure the item, amount and mode («Advance» or «100% payment») are correct.

Apply the documents to the estimate
When everything is checked, confirm the matching. Nothing changes in the project before that. If you made a mistake, use «Undo the whole batch» — the files will go to Files → «Invoices, payments, receipts».
Good to know
- Delivery on a receipt is added to the same item; no separate «Delivery» item is created.
- If the delivery line is not marked, open the receipt lines in the document row and tick the truck icon.
- If the receipt amount is lower than the item price, the payment counts as an advance and you will see a warning. If it is a full payment, choose «100% payment».
- The payment date is taken from the receipt or invoice. A receipt uploaded twice is marked as a duplicate.
- Items that are not approved are never marked as paid automatically.
