Upload a water invoice

Before you start

You need an Editor role in your Dcycle organization.

Steps

Step 1

Click “Data” in the left navigation.

Step 2

Click “Categories”.

Step 3

Open the “Facilities” category.

Step 4

Open the facility this invoice belongs to.

Step 5

Click the “Water” tab.

Step 6

Click “Add data” to open the upload options.

Step 7

You can add a consumption manually, upload the invoice PDF (Dcycle’s AI reads the supplier, billing period and m³ consumed), or bulk-upload a CSV/Excel template for many invoices at once.

Step 8

Choose “Upload PDF”.

Step 9

Drag your PDF invoice onto the panel or click to browse. Dcycle reads invoices in any language your suppliers use — this one is in Catalan.

Step 10

The file goes to a processing queue while Dcycle’s AI reads the supplier, billing period and consumption in m³. Once it’s done, assign it to the right facility category and it’s added to your Water records.

Step 11

Drawing from a private well or borehole instead of the municipal network? Use the meter readings on the pump — record the volume extracted per period in m³ and upload it the same way. Self-supplied water still counts, at a lower emission factor since it skips municipal treatment and distribution.

Step 12

For many invoices at once, use the bulk upload option instead — download the CSV/Excel template, fill one row per invoice (facility, start/end date, m³, supplier), and drag it back.
