This guide explains how to use VAT4U's Start Processing feature to speed up the invoice verification process. Instead of opening each invoice manually, this feature lets you process invoices in sequence, saving time and effort.

Where to Find the Feature

In the VAT Recovery module -> Manage Expenses Table List, you need to select a company and use other filters to narrow the search results. There, you’ll see a green button labeled Start Processing.

How Does the Start Processing Button Work?

After filtering your expenses based on your criteria, Start Processing allows you to work through those invoices one after another, without needing to return to the expense table.

1. Filter Invoices and Start Processing
First, filter the invoices you need to process. For example, if you want to work on all Incomplete invoices from a specific vendor, apply your filters. Once filtered, click Start Processing and the first invoice in your batch will open.
You can create a task to handle the batch later or start processing immediately by selecting Open.

2. Edit and Save the Invoice
With the first invoice open, review the data, make any necessary edits, and Save your changes. This step works just like usual, but now you’re working within a filtered batch.

3. Move to the Next Invoice

Click Save & Next to automatically save the current invoice and open the following invoice from your filtered list. This eliminates the need to manually return to the expense table, allowing you to move quickly through your selected invoices. The Next button will only take you to the next invoice without saving the current one.
