Bug: site allows me to add a 'Who paid you?' before any invoices are created. Then when I create an invoice, it loses the 'Who paid you' info I entered.

What I'd really like is to have all my expense invoices set up to be sent to myaccount123@bullethq.com, and have your software parse out the details (VAT etc.) and arrange it nicely by date and company. It's currently easier for me to log into, e.g. my web hosting provider, pull up a list of invoices for the last year and copy/paste them into a spreadsheet. Your approach would have me manually enter info from dozens upon dozens of invoices one at a time into your webapp (using the 'Incoming Bill' form).

https://getitkeepit.com/ are an Irish company that parse incoming bills from an (admittedly small) number of utility companies, maybe you could look at something similar?

Hi muxxa,

The site will let you get to the "Who paid you" money in page, but it won't record any of the details unless you select which invoices the payment is for - that's why the details appear to be missing when you go back to that screen after having created the invoices.

Stay tuned for our iPhone app (and email service) which will be able to suck in your invoices and they are entered automatically for you, so you won't have to do any of the tedious typing.

Hi, idea of 'Who paid you', is for people that do work then invoice later, say you have a regular client. I've just tried to replicate that error and can't - can you drop me a mail on peter at bullethq.com.

Yep we're 100% with you but it's tricky to build but on our list. What you see now it the MVP for saying good bye to your accountant.

We have GetItKeep it on our list but I think they're changed direction and are working in the US.
