What do the processing statuses mean?

After uploading, Booko reads your invoice with AI and proposes a booking. The status shows how far processing is and whether someone still needs to look at it.

Statuses while uploading

• Waiting / Uploading… – The file is being sent.
• Queued / Classifying… – The AI is reading the invoice.
• Auto-classified – The AI is confident enough about the result.
• Needs check – The AI is unsure or something is missing. Someone needs to look at the invoice.
• Failed – Uploading or processing didn't work.

Tabs on the Costs page

• To review – Documents that need your or your accountant's attention, such as Review needed or Possible duplicate.
• In progress – Booko is still processing.
• Processed – The invoice has been processed.
• All costs – Everything together.

In their own workspace, your accountant also sees the status Checked: the accountant has reviewed the booking.

What should I do?

• An invoice says Review needed? Open it with Review and compare the details with the document (see "Check and correct an invoice").
• The Overview shows how many invoices await review. Click Review to go through them.

Still stuck?

• An invoice stays In progress for a long time or shows Failed? Use Retry processing if that button is visible.
• An invoice stays on Needs check although everything is correct? See "Invoice stuck on Needs check" or ask for a colleague in the chat.
