  2. Download the templates

    Invoices (one row per invoice) and, optionally, payments (one row per payment).

  3. Set “Started with Hectile on”

    Imported invoices and payments must be dated before it.

  4. Upload and review

    Every problem listed; columns used; new customers.

  5. Reconcile

    Invoiced, paid and still due per customer, Brand and currency.

  6. Import

    100 at a time; a stopped page carries on.

What an imported invoice is

An issued invoice with its original number, dates, amount before tax, named tax amounts (CGST, SGST, IGST, VAT…), total and payments. It has no lines — Hectile never makes them up — and gets a secure link. Customers see the totals, taxes, payments and balance. “Imported” shows only inside Hectile.

Nothing goes out

No emails, reminders or receipts. Reminders for imported open invoices stay off until you choose Turn on reminders for N imported open invoices.

  • Credit an imported invoice by amount; each imported tax is reduced in proportion.
  • One with payments from before Hectile can’t be cancelled.
  • Undo the latest import for 7 days: invoices nobody has used since are removed.
