Do I need to enter all my purchases?

[Jasongough]

Hi all

I need a little help

I am a plumber using this software a bit new to it all.

Do I need to add my purchases manually or is there a quicker way by entering my purchases ie parts, on my invoice so that it does it form me, rather keep having to manually enter it in my purchases section. Just want to be able to see my profit separate to my purchases, when I go to my profit and loss section. Or do I have to manually enter my purchases. Hope this makes sense.
Many thanks
Jason

Hello @Jasongough

You could import your bank statement or use bank feeds to get the transactions in to the QuickFile
Then tag items(or set up tagging rules) to create purchase invoices for you.

Please see the attached link for more details

Thanks Steve
To open bank feeds to put them automatically I guess I have to pay
Would be better to just upload them as in free

Hi @Jasongough

To have Open Banking feeds it is £15 +VAT per year and you can have as many feeds connected as you need to.

You are correct in saying that you can upload your bank statements for free.

The method you choose to use is up to you.
