Raising invoices manually is fine for a few suppliers; bulk CSV import is the answer at volume. Exporting a period’s timesheets or commission to a CSV lets you create a whole batch of self-billed invoices at once, preview them, then send — turning an all-day job into minutes.
Key points
- Manual is fine for a handful of invoices.
- CSV import creates a whole period in one run.
- Preview the batch before confirming and sending.
- Correct VAT applied per supplier across the batch.
The volume tipping point
Once you’re raising dozens or hundreds of invoices a period, manual entry becomes slow and error-prone. CSV import scales without adding mistakes.
