Hello,
can someone please recommend a way to automatically create purchase invoices from incoming e-mail? I’d like my vendors to send their monthly recurring invoices via e-mail and automatically create the appropriate document in ERPNext.

Hi,
for the moment this does not exsit as far as I know. I also think this would be helpful.
We create invoices and then attach the PDF that the customer or supplier sends.
Regards.
Yeah, that’s what we’re doing too. But I was trying to figure out a better way to do it. I hoped that it can be done similar to sales opportunities.
Italy regionalization of ERPNext allows you to import a Purchase Invoice from xml file. So if your supplier can send invoice attached as .xml file to email - this may be the direction / pathway to accomplish this. As far as I know, current capability is to manually import - so additional script to “read” email attachment is likely needed.

After set this correctly you can pick Purchase Invoice under the email account like this one:
But unfortonately it does not working, bc Supplier is mandotory (and there was something like that in the error log) and I cannot change the that default fields to non mandotory.
Am I on a bad track? I hope someone can help me out with this.
here is the error what’s generated when ERPNext load mail from imap and tried to create Purchase Invoice from it:
