Step 2 – From upload history tab, select the relevant files to download.

Step 3 – Click the “Download” button located at the top right corner of the screen

Receipt Bot will compile all your files into a single ZIP file and automatically downloads it to your device.

Once the ZIP file is downloaded, you can extract it to access and review all the selected files.

Option 2 – Download files by applying filters on extracted data

You can download data from the purchase/sale invoices and apply filters on the extracted data, like invoice date and category.

Please follow these steps to download files by applying filters on extracted data.

Step 1 – Navigate to the Purchase or Sales Invoice page.

Limitations

Receipt Bot allows file download up to 512 MB in one go. If you have a larger file in the Receipt Bot, you must perform the downloading task in more than one session.

Receipt Bot performs several operations on your uploaded files to prepare files for extraction. The actions performed by Receipt Bot include split, merge, re-organize and compress. A new file is created after split and merge actions are performed, and the actual file that you uploaded is preserved.

You can apply filters on the upload history page to filter out the system-generated documents and download only the relevant files to reduce the file size for the download activity. Please refer to the following Video on downloading only the modified files.
