SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Messy folders of invoices and receipts with inconsistent filenames make tax preparation and expense reconciliation slow and error-prone. This Skill reads each document, extracts key details, and produces a clean, consistently named filing system. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Information Extraction: Reads PDFs, scanned images, and email attachments to pull vendor name, invoice number, date, amount, and description. - Standardized Renaming: Renames files to a consistent YYYY-MM-DD Vendor - Invoice - Description format for reliable sorting. - Flexible Organization: Sorts files by vendor, expense category, year, quarter, or tax category, and generates a CSV summary for accountants. - Use Case: You have 147 randomly named invoice PDFs in a downloads folder. The Skill reads each one, renames them consistently, sorts them into 2024/Software/Adobe/ style folders, and produces an invoice-summary.csv ready for your accountant. ## Quick Start Organize all invoices in this folder by extracting the date, vendor, and description from each file, renaming them to the standard format, and sorting them into folders by year and category with a CSV summary.

Frequently Asked Questions about invoice-organizer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize invoices for tax preparation automatically?

Point the Skill at your invoice folder and it reads each PDF or image to extract the date, vendor, and description. It then renames files to a YYYY-MM-DD format, sorts them into category folders, and generates a CSV summary for your accountant.

How to rename bulk invoice PDFs with consistent filenames?

The Skill extracts metadata from each invoice's content rather than relying on existing filenames. It applies a standard pattern like '2024-03-15 Adobe - Invoice - Creative Cloud.pdf' so files sort chronologically and are easy to search.

Can invoice organization handle scanned receipts and images?

Yes, the Skill works with JPG and PNG receipts in addition to PDFs, reading visible text to identify vendor, date, and total amount. Files where key information cannot be extracted are flagged in a Needs-Review folder for manual checking.

What folder structures work best for organizing business expenses?

Common structures include by vendor, by year and category, by quarter, or by tax deductibility. The default suggestion is Year/Category/Vendor, but you can request any hierarchy such as Deductible versus Personal for accountant-ready archives.

What happens to original files when invoices are reorganized?

Originals are preserved by default since the Skill copies rather than moves files into the new structure. You can request a move instead, and duplicates are detected by comparing file hashes so only the highest quality version is kept.
