More bookkeeping.
Less retyping.

A small experiment in moving spreadsheet rows into invoice line items. Paste a batch, inspect each field and catch mismatched codes before they become cleanup work.

One batch. Each field in its place.

Illustration of the proposed workflow.
The demo below uses simulated invoice fields.

One paste. A few useful checks.

Bulk Paste

Try tab-separated or comma-separated rows in a six-column sample invoice. Start with the included sample to learn the format.

Live Validation

Check account codes, tax rates and categories against this demo’s sample options. Live Xero compatibility is still unverified.

Error Highlighting

Unrecognised values stay visible with a red outline and an explanation. Choose a valid option to correct the row.

A contained experiment

Everything runs in this browser. No account, uploaded spreadsheet or live accounting connection is needed.

Try the working sketch.

Use sample data first. Nothing is transmitted; the grid is a simulation and never changes a real invoice.

Description Qty Unit Price Account Code Tax Rate Tracking

Tab-separated or comma-separated. One row per line. Columns: Description, Qty, Unit Price, Account Code, Tax Rate, Tracking.

Lines used this month: 0 / 50

A possible product. An honest starting point.

Does this connect to Xero?

No. It has not been verified against a live Xero organisation and is not yet a deployable product. It is not affiliated with Xero Limited.

What happens to the data I paste?

It stays on this page. The simulated line counter is saved in this browser; pasted invoice contents are not sent to a server. Use sample data to explore.

Can I buy Pro or join a waitlist?

Neither is open. We removed the placeholder signup so nobody can mistake a form for a real subscription. Product availability will be published on Samsara Loop.
