An invoice tracker is a tool used to monitor invoices and track their statuses, due dates, payments, and related data to ensure efficient financial management. There are invoice trackers for suppliers and for business customers; our invoice tracking template is designed for the latter.
What are the benefits of an invoice tracker?
An invoice tracker provides clear visibility into invoice status and cash flow, helps to ensure timely payments, and improves accuracy in reports.
How can you use an invoice tracker in spreadsheets?
You can use an invoice tracker in spreadsheets to input and monitor invoice details, track payment statuses, set due date alerts, filter data by various criteria, and generate summary reports and charts for better financial management.
How do you automate invoicing in spreadsheets?
To an extent, it’s possible to automate invoicing in spreadsheets by using formulas to calculate outstanding amounts, applying conditional formatting to highlight due dates and invoice statuses, and incorporating data validation to create drop-down lists. We used these automation methods in our invoice tracking template.
Are Precoro templates in Excel and Google Sheets customizable?
Yes, you can modify the contents of drop-down lists for statuses, departments, suppliers, and net terms and adjust the colors for different statuses, including those for invoices with an impending due date.
What’s the best way to keep track of invoices?

This procurement system simplifies invoice creation, approvals, 2- and 3-way matching, and communication with suppliers and provides statuses that automatically update. Book a demo to learn more.
When is it time to implement specialized software?
