Extract every line item from your invoices, not just the total.
Invoice totals are useful for bookkeeping, but they throw away what you actually bought. If a builders’ merchant invoice contains timber, insulation, plasterboard and delivery charges, storing only the total loses most of the useful detail. Invoices to Spreadsheets keeps every line.
Each purchased item’s description, quantity, unit price and line total are read alongside the invoice-level totals, and kept in a separate line-items table linked back to its invoice.
Questions people ask
Does this extract individual items from an invoice, not just the total?
Yes. Each line item’s description, quantity, unit price and total are extracted and exported to a separate line-items sheet linked back to its invoice, so a £2,000 invoice does not collapse into a single figure.
Why keep invoice totals and line items in separate tables?
One row per invoice keeps the supplier, dates and totals easy to scan. One row per purchased item lets you search every invoice for a material, group spend by supplier or compare unit prices over time — questions a single total cannot answer.
What if a line item is missing or unclear?
Values that cannot be read from the original document are flagged for review. Open the invoice alongside the extracted row and correct it before you export.
What exact fields does each line item include?
Description, quantity, unit price and line total, read as printed on the invoice — never guessed or calculated backwards from the invoice total.
Can I export line items separately from invoice totals?
Yes — an Excel export includes one sheet of invoices and one sheet of line items, both linked by invoice; CSV export can be scoped to just the line-item rows.
