I couldn't tell you why, it would certainly be handy to have though. Alternatively the ability to convert batch lines into an invoice post-processing would also work well enough.

Getting Adept was just the result of doing what I could with what was available. For all the work it does for us, the yearly licence fee pays for itself within a week.

However, if this is relatively simple as you say, why SAGE will not implement it themselves?

Thanks for the details. Will definitely have a look. 

Hi Magdalena,

We had this problem when invoicing orders that are taken/delivered on a completely separate system. Batch could not be used as no invoice number given & they were being keyed manually from paper anyway, which was becoming unsustainable with growth.

We now use Adept Sage 50 Invoice CSV Import. If you can adjust your templates to suit what Adept expects, it can do exactly what you want. Data from an Excel compatible file turned into a proper invoice on Sage. It took a few days to get going nicely for us, but it has been rock solid for the past couple of years. Nice to watch it go in automatic batch mode. Everything's entered before the kettle boils
