Hack to Upload Multiple Invoices to Same Customer Using Google Sheets Add-on

BeffBeff Member Posts: 5

When using the Google Sheets Add-on to upload invoices, trying to upload multiple invoices to the same customer can produce the error "WARNING: The following field(s) have inconsistent data on different lines: Invoice Number. The first value in each field will be used."

This happens because Wave generates a new invoice when it detects a new customer in the Customer Name column but not when it detects a new invoice. Thus, Wave combines all contiguous lines for the same customer into a single invoice.

Hack to upload multiple invoices to the same customer:
Separate each new invoice with a blank row. Wave will detect the blank row as "new customer" without uploading a new invoice. Then, start a new invoice on the next row even if it is the same customer.

    Awesome, was poking around trying to figure this out because a lot of my orders are from the same place and that warning just didn't make sense even with have invoice numbers added......i am sure it makes sense to whatever engineer designed it but no one else :P Thanks for the work around!
