Let AI read an invoice for you
In Add Invoice, drop a photo or PDF of the invoice into the box at the top. On Pro it fills in the vendor, amount, dates and payments for you to check.

Works on your phone
Got the invoice in your inbox already? Skip the typing. Drop in a photo or PDF of it and WedBuild reads it for you, then shows you exactly what it filled in so you can check it before anything is saved.
Steps
-
Open Budget, go to the Expenses tab and choose Add Invoice.
-
Drag the photo or PDF onto Drop your invoice here (1), or choose the box to pick the file. On a phone, tap it to pick a photo or file.
-
Wait a moment while it says Reading your invoice…. It fills in the Vendor, Invoice Amount, Due Date, Description and the closest Category it can find. If the invoice lists a deposit or instalments, they go into the Payment Schedule, with payments already made ticked as paid on the day they were paid.
-
Check the Read from your invoice list under the box. It shows what was filled in, and anything it couldn't read stays empty for you to fill in. Change anything that isn't right.
-
Choose Create Invoice. Nothing is saved until you do.
Good to know
- It never overwrites what you've typed. Fill in a field first and it keeps yours.
- Only the deposit printed on the invoice? The rest of the amount is added as a final payment, due on the invoice's due date.
- It's part of Pro, and you can use it during the free Pro trial. On Standard your file is still attached, and you fill in the details yourself.
- Each read uses a little of your AI planning allowance. If it's used up, the file is still attached and you fill in the details yourself.
- Invoice in another currency? The list points it out, so you can check the amount.
- Your partner and planner can use it too. In a wedding someone shared with you, it reads the invoice into that wedding's budget, and each read uses a little of that wedding's AI planning allowance, not yours.
- Your file stays with the invoice. Open the invoice later and its Inv. Details tab lets you view, replace or remove it. A file added there is kept, but not read.
