⚠️ Only the accounting entries and admin fees can be encoded in the app as a deductible cost.

1/ What kind of documents and how to encode them as an expense?

You only need to encode the accounting entries document (“écritures comptables”) + Administrative fees invoice that you can request to the Social secretariat that issues payslips.

1.1 How to encode the accounting entries?

→ For the amounts in the debit column:

🚨 You have to encode the amounts in the debit column only for the general account (=compte général in the doc) that starts with 6:

💡In the category Compensation > Director's compensation:

→ For the amounts in the credit column

🚨You need to take the amounts in the credit column only for the general account that starts with 6 or 7 and create a credit note in the category Compensation > Director's compensation:

Eco-voucher may appear in accounting entries under an account starting with 6**, but they can not be included in the encoding.

1.2 How to encode Administrative fees invoice?

→ Encode the invoice in the expense in the category Legal & other fees > other fee:

💡Double-check the VAT amount on the invoice to ensure that it corresponds to the VAT amount in the expenses incurred.


2/ Mistakes to avoid

Never encode in the expense tab: Précompte invoices !!!

Example of Précompte invoice:

Freelancers and companies you hire are not employees. Their invoices must be encoded in the "Subcontracting" category

If you receive a file called “Compte d’entreprise”, this is not to be encoded in Accountable. This is the recap of the year.
