Zoho Books

Native posting of bills and expenses into Zoho Books, with vendors, items, tax codes and chart of accounts synced from your organisation.

Book a demo

The Zoho Books connector is live and in daily use. Invoreg reads a supplier invoice, the accountant checks it, and one click registers it as a bill or expense in Zoho Books through the Zoho Books API. Vendors, items, tax codes and the chart of accounts come from your Zoho Books organisation, so what you register lands with the right codes and nothing has to be re-typed.

What syncs

| From Zoho Books → Invoreg | From Invoreg → Zoho Books | | --- | --- | | Vendors and customers | Registered bills and expenses, with the original document attached | | Items and services | New vendors created from an invoice | | Tax codes (VAT rates) | New items created from an invoice | | Chart of accounts | Account code, project and cost object per line | | Existing bills (for duplicate matching) | — |

Header fields (supplier, invoice number, dates, currency, totals) and every line item, including VAT per line, are written to the bill. Documents already in Zoho Books are matched to their uploads so nothing is registered twice.

How registration works

  1. Invoices arrive by upload or through the organisation's email inbox. Invoreg reads header and line items and marks anything it is unsure about.
  2. The AI matches the supplier to a Zoho Books vendor and suggests items, tax codes and account codes. If the vendor or item does not exist yet, Invoreg creates it in Zoho Books at registration.
  3. Duplicates are flagged against invoices already in the workspace and bills already in Zoho Books.
  4. If purchase approvals are switched on, the invoice goes through up to three approval levels in Invoreg before anything reaches Zoho Books.
  5. The accountant clicks Register. The bill is created in Zoho Books within seconds and the Invoreg document is linked to it.

Requirements

  • A Zoho Books organisation on any paid plan, and a Zoho account with permission to authorise integrations for that organisation.
  • OAuth 2.0 authorisation. Invoreg requests the Zoho Books scopes it needs for bills, contacts, items and settings (taxes and chart of accounts). See the Zoho Books API reference.
  • The Zoho Books API exposes bills with line items (account, item, tax and project per line), attachments, contacts, items, taxes and the chart of accounts, which is everything the connector uses.
  • For testing, a Zoho Books free trial organisation works as a sandbox. Your first 20 invoices in a private demo organisation are free.

Timeline

Questions accountants ask

No. Invoreg reads the supplier invoice, the accountant checks the fields and clicks Register, and the bill appears in Zoho Books through the API with vendor, line items, VAT per line and account codes already filled in. Zoho Books stays your ledger; Invoreg only feeds it.

Invoreg flags the duplicate before registration. It compares the new document with invoices already in the workspace and with bills already in Zoho Books, so the second copy is marked as a duplicate and nothing is posted twice. The accountant can still register it deliberately if needed.

Yes. Each client is an organisation in the Invoreg workspace, and each organisation connects to its own Zoho Books organisation with its own authorisation. Approvers, labels, mailboxes and default accounts are set per organisation, while the firm sees analytics across all of them in one place.
