The process is even more complicated because accountants often receive these invoices through different means. Some clients send printed documents via courier, others send scans by email, and some even send photos, which are not always the best quality, via Whatsapp.
Moreover, it's common for clients to send their documents at the very last minute. This usually happens when accountants are already busy with other tasks, particularly during the filing period. Accountants don't just have to find these documents. They also have to save them in separate folders based on the client and prepare them for entry into the accounting system. These steps make the task of collecting and organizing documents a real headache and can consume a lot of valuable time.
But what if there was a way to make this easier? Meet Entera.
Entera is a practical and user-friendly solution designed to handle data entry. It's compatible with Tally, making the task of managing and entry a large volume of invoices far less daunting.
In this article, we'll discuss three ways you can upload documents in Entera to help speed up your work and make it more efficient.
