Hidden Features Most People Miss

  • Email Forwarding Rules: Set up auto-forwarding in your email client so supplier invoices go straight to AutoEntry without any manual step — this is the biggest time saver for accountants and bookkeepers who handle dozens of invoices daily.
  • Duplicate Detection: AutoEntry automatically flags duplicate invoices before you publish them — this prevents double entries and protects your data accuracy across all your client companies.
  • Supplier Statement Reconciliation: Upload supplier statements and AutoEntry matches them against captured invoices — it highlights gaps in your records instantly so you never miss a bill.
  • Credit Rollover: Unused credits roll over for up to 90 days, so you never lose credits during quiet months. This makes the pay-as-you-go model even more flexible for seasonal businesses.
  • Partner Programme Discounts: If you’re an accountant or bookkeeper, join the partner programme. Your clients get 50% off for six months and you earn credits or cash back on their purchases.

AutoEntry Common Mistakes to Avoid

Mistake #1: Skipping Account Mapping During Setup

❌ Wrong: Connecting your accounting software without mapping default accounts for suppliers. This means every document needs manual categorization.

✅ Right: Set up your required account number and VAT codes for every major supplier during initial setup. This lets AutoEntry auto-categorize from day one and saves hours of work every week.

Mistake #2: Using Line Items for Every Invoice

❌ Wrong: Enabling line item extraction for all invoices and burning through credits twice as fast. Most simple invoices don’t need full line item detail.

✅ Right: Only use line item extraction for invoices where you need the detailed breakdown. One credit covers a standard invoice while two credits cover line items. Reserve it for purchase orders that need matching.

Mistake #3: Not Training the Machine Learning

❌ Wrong: Expecting AutoEntry to categorize everything perfectly from the start without any training. The AI needs examples to learn from.

✅ Right: Manually categorize your first batch of invoices carefully. AutoEntry’s machine learning capabilities improve the accuracy of data capture processes over time as it learns your patterns. After 20 to 30 invoices, you’ll see major improvements in auto-categorization.

Mistake #4: Ignoring Credit Card Statements

❌ Wrong: Only uploading invoices and receipts while manually entering credit card statements into your accounting software.

✅ Right: Upload credit card statements to AutoEntry too. Three credits per page is a small price to pay for accurate, automated transaction capture that eliminates hours of manual work.

AutoEntry Troubleshooting

Problem: Documents Not Processing

Cause: The uploaded file may be too blurry, too large, or in an unsupported format.

Fix: Make sure photos are clear and well-lit. Use PDF format when possible. Re-upload the document if the first attempt fails.

Problem: Incorrect Data Extraction

Cause: The document layout may be unusual or the scan quality may be low.

Fix: Correct the extracted data manually and AutoEntry will learn from your correction for future documents from that supplier.

Problem: Connection Lost with Accounting Software

Cause: Your accounting software authorization may have expired or credentials may have changed.

Fix: Go to Settings, disconnect the integration, and reconnect using your current login credentials. This is a required session refresh that re-establishes the API connection between AutoEntry and your accounting platform.

Problem: Credits Running Out Too Fast

Cause: You may have line item extraction enabled for all documents, which uses two credits per invoice instead of one.

Fix: Review your settings and disable line item extraction for invoices that only need totals. Check your credit usage dashboard to see which document types consume the most credits. Consider upgrading to a higher plan if your volume has increased.

Problem: Mobile App Not Syncing

Cause: Your mobile app may need an update or your internet connection may be unstable.

Fix: Update the AutoEntry mobile app to the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Check your internet connection and try uploading again. If the issue persists, clear the app cache and log in again.

📌 Note: If none of these fix your issue, contact AutoEntry support via live chat, email, or phone.
