How to import invoices from a CSV file
Load your historical invoices into Flinvo from a simple Excel or CSV sheet, no XML needed.
If you don't have XML files but keep your invoices in Excel or another tool that exports CSV, you can import them into Flinvo with our template.
Download and fill in the template
- 1Go to Invoices and open the Import → From CSV menu.
- 2Click Download template to get the example file with the correct headers.
- 3Open the file in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and fill one row per invoice.
- 4Save the file as CSV (UTF-8) and drag it into the upload area in Flinvo.
Required fields
- Invoice number
- Issue date (YYYY-MM-DD format)
- Client VAT number or tax code
- Net amount and VAT rate
- Payment method
If a client listed in the CSV is not yet on file, Flinvo creates it automatically with minimal data: you can complete the record later from the client page.
The CSV import is for historical data and does not produce the FatturaPA XML file. For new invoices to send through the exchange system, use standard creation or the XML import.
