Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request. Goal: Split my scanned invoices into separate files, rename them, sort them into folders, and make a summary spreadsheet. Quick check first: How should they be grouped into folders, for example by supplier or month? What I need from you: - The scanned invoice files - How you want them named and grouped Rules: - Split multi-invoice scans into one file per invoice. - Rename and sort each one into the right folder. - List anything you can't read instead of guessing. - Keep the original scans untouched. Output: Sorted invoice files plus a summary Excel file listing each invoice. If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps. You'll know it worked when: every invoice is in its own named file, in the right folder, and listed in the summary.
