Adding Invoice Recipient Codes to Clients

Adding Invoice Recipient Codes to Clients

You can upload addresses using our template on the Invoices page.  In order to upload client addresses, clients must be assigned an Invoice Recipient Code in BillFin. Invoice Recipient Code is a client detail that can be added by upload or manually and is required for the address upload to work)

To Add Invoice Recipient Codes to Clients by Upload: 

Go to the Clients page

Click on "Sync Clients & Accounts" or "Upload Clients & Accounts"
A slideout window will open
Click on Download the Template
Open the template in Excel
Delete all columns except Client Name, Invoice Recipient Code, Account Display Name, and Account Portfolio Number
Fill out the Invoice Recipient Codes column for your clients (you can only upload one Invoice Recipient Code for a client so you will have to manually add any additional Invoice Recipient Codes for additional recipients)
Save the template
Go back to BillFin
Go the Clients Page
Click on "Sync Clients & Accounts" or "Upload Clients & Accounts"
A slideout window will open
Click on "Upload Clients & Accounts" in BillFin and select the file
Click Apply Changes if the preview looks good (you should have NO NEW clients or accounts if you are using this upload just to add Invoice Recipient Codes to existing clients)*

*Note: Schwab has leading zeroes on their account numbers that get cutoff by Excel automatically in exporting. Those 2 leading zeroes will have to be added back to your account numbers in the spreadsheet to update existing accounts. If you do not add back the leading zeroes, then you will be creating lots of new accounts with your partial Schwab account numbers which you do not want to do.
