# Adding payables to a draw

### **Overview**

Add invoices to a draw at any point after it's been requested — not just while building it. Upload a file for Built's AI to extract the vendor, invoice number, amount, and date, or enter the details manually, then map the invoice to a Sources & Uses line item.

### **Opening the Invoice Checklist**

#### Description

This works for any draw that has already been requested — Lender Review, Transferred, or any other post-draft status.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. At the top-left of the page, click **Portfolio**.

### **Uploading an Invoice for AI Extraction**

#### Description

The fastest way to add an invoice is to upload the file and let Built's AI pull the details for you.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. In the **Add invoice** window, drag and drop your invoice file into the upload area, or click **browse your files**. Supported formats: PDF, JPG, PNG. Max 15 pages.

2. Built processes the file and automatically fills in the **Vendor**, **Invoice #**, **Amount**, and **Invoice date** fields. These fields are marked "AI-extracted — review and confirm before adding." If the vendor does not exist, select the option to add a new vendor.

3. Review each extracted field for accuracy and correct anything that's wrong.
4. In the **S&U line item** field, select the Sources & Uses line item this invoice should be applied to.

### **Entering an Invoice Manually**

#### Description

If you don't have a file to upload, or prefer to enter the details yourself, you can add the invoice manually.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. In the **Add invoice** window, click **Enter details manually**.

2. In the **Vendor** field, search for the vendor. If they're not already a contact, select the option to add a new vendor.

### FAQ

#### Can I add an invoice to a draft draw this way?

No. This flow is for draws that have already been requested. For draws still in Draft, add payables through the draw request wizard instead.

#### What if the AI misreads a field?

Edit any AI-extracted field before clicking Add to checklist. Nothing is saved to the draw until you confirm and click Add to checklist.

#### What if my vendor isn't in Built yet?

Choose Enter details manually, then create the vendor inline using the New Organization form before finishing the invoice.
