Document preview in ImmoDok: a tradesman’s invoice with the amount read, net, VAT, labour share and the note “please check”

Step by step

  1. Upload the invoice as a PDF or scan, like any other document.Scans are read by text recognition
  2. Open the document: below its details are the values read, such as net, VAT, labour share and invoice number.Marked “please check”
  3. Compare the values with the receipt and correct amount and service period through “Metadata” if needed.The original stays unchanged
  4. The values feed the tax advisor area, the § 35a tax overview and the yearly package.With a booking batch in the CSV format DATEV documents

The result: Less typing: the receipt carries its amounts, and the yearly overview works with them.

Important: The recognition is automatic. ImmoDok only reads labelled amounts and never estimates a labour share; if it is not on the invoice, it stays empty. Whether an amount has a tax effect is for your tax advisor to judge.

The receipt has no readable text or no labelled amounts with cents. Enter the amount by hand in the metadata.
An e-invoice shows no amount recognition.
Intended: the e-invoice’s structured data is more precise and takes precedence.
