- EzzyBills Analysis is a tool that will produce a list of invoices that you have processed recently, for which your review is highly recommended, with the data fields that need review highlighted. This is a new feature on trial. In the coming months, we will continue to refine it.
- Benefit to use it? It will create a small list of invoices for you to review. It is highly recommended that you review all invoices, but special attention shall be given to these identified by the EzzyBills Analysis tool, and these data fields highlighted.
- How to use it? Login to EzzyBills, click top menu “Analysis”. Then click the button “Start Analysis (Documents to Review)”. It will take a few minutes for the analyses to be created. You will then go through each invoice in the result, to make sure each has been reviewed and actions are taken. When all invoices are reviewed, click “Clear Analysis” basically to make them all as reviewed.
- Note that For Xero/QuickBooks user, you will be able to click a link to Xero/QuickBooks to review it in your accounting package. Fast and Seamless!
-
- Use it periodically: if you do it weekly, you will be able to quickly go through the review process. Note that each time you click the button “Start Analysis”, only the new invoices that have not been reviewed will be processed.

- New feature, for Xero users only: export item code to Xero based on description matching.
Previously if you enable ‘Allow Stock Invoices’ in EzzyBills, EzzyBills will try to export item code of each line on the invoice if the item code exists in your Xero account; if the item code does not exist we will leave it blank.
Now with the change, if we do not find the item code existing in your Xero account, we will try to find a suitable one based on description matching. If no matching is found from description match, we will leave it blank.
This is very useful if the item code on the invoice is different from the one you use in Xero; or item code is missing on the invoice.
If you add new item in your inventory in Xero, you will need to click “Refresh GL” in EzzyBills Settings so that EzzyBills will see the change you made in Xero immediately; otherwise, EzzyBills will ask for inventory item data from Xero once a week.

Previously we required a 95% match. 2) We also added an option to bypass the check and always convert PO to bill. All you need do is add the phrase ezzymatch; to the Jornal memo of the PO. These were done to address customer comments.
Date: 1-November-2017
- Deep learning algorithms have been refined and expanded during the last few months. Now if EzzyBills customers make changes in the invoice data in their account packages (such as Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks), EzzyBills will use this information to inform our invoice data extraction engine to learn from its past and improve upon it. The learning targets key invoice data such as invoice total, tax amount, and invoice number etc.
Date: 31-October-2017
- For GL account code determination, EzzyBills has been using artificial intelligence to provide the most likely account code for your invoice. We also support different account codes for different lines of an invoice. The data that we are using for artificial intelligence include
- Your past invoice data for description matching;
- Default Account Code for the Supplier,
- If none of above yield any suitable account code, we will guess account code for you ( such as most commonly used expense code, and best guessing for each supplier based on your invoice history).
(The last one is one of options in EzzyBills Settings; it is on by default. If you un-check this option, we will leave the account code blank if we cannot find description matching and supplier default account code. This is only applicable to MYOB users. For other users, this option is always on.)
Date: 31-October-2017
- For Xero users, when invoices are exported to Xero, EzzyBills now sends to Xero two files as attachment: the invoice file and the notes. The latter contains the processing logs and approval logs.
