Read the whole bill. Not just the total.

TaskAutomate reads vendor, GSTINs, every line item, the tax split and the totals off any purchase bill, in any layout. It also works out which ledger and voucher type the bill belongs to. You check it; you don’t type it.

Need something else on every bill, like a PO number or a vehicle number? Add it to a template, for the bill or for each line, and it is read along with the rest.

Then it sorts the bill

Reading the numbers is half the entry. The other half is knowing where they go.

  • Expense type

    Each bill is sorted into one of eleven types, such as travel, telecom, professional fees or hardware and supplies. That type decides the ledger it posts to, so there is no mapping table to keep.

  • Voucher type

    A supplier’s credit bill becomes a purchase voucher; a cash memo or an electricity bill becomes a payment voucher.

  • A confidence score

    Shown when you open the bill to review it, so you know whether to check every field or glance and approve.

Crumpled, faded, handwritten. Send it anyway.

Printed bills, handwritten kirana bills, thermal receipts and multi-page PDFs are all read the same way. The worse the photo, the lower the confidence score, so you know where to look.

The rest of the flow

Each part does one job. Together they take a bill from a phone to a posted voucher.

Guides

Bill reading questions

Do I need to set up a template for each supplier?

No. Bills are read in any layout without setup. Templates are optional: use one when you want an extra field read on every bill, such as a PO number or a vehicle number.

Can it read handwritten and thermal-printed bills?

Yes, as long as a person could read them. Handwritten line items are read row by row. A faded thermal print or a dark photo lowers the confidence score, and that bill is the one you check most carefully.

How accurate is it?

Accuracy depends mostly on scan quality, so every field gets a confidence score and a review step before anything reaches your books. A clean PDF from a supplier’s billing software reads near-perfectly; a creased photo of a thermal receipt needs a closer look.

How long does it take to read a bill?

On average under 30s per bill, from the moment it arrives on WhatsApp or upload. Multi-page PDFs take a little longer.

Can I correct a field before it posts?

Yes. Every bill opens in a review screen with the extracted fields next to the original. Change anything, then approve. Nothing posts until someone approves it.

Which documents can it read?

Purchase bills and tax invoices from suppliers, and receipts, cash memos and utility bills. Each one is classified as a purchase, payment, journal or receipt voucher.
