Upload invoices, review draft schedules, and publish for automatic journal posting. [All Updates](https://briefcase.so/changelog) Update Automatic prepayment detection and recognition scheduling. Upload invoices, review draft schedules, and publish for automatic journal posting. 22 April 2025 ## Automated prepayments Briefcase has launched its first workflow extending beyond standard bookkeeping functions: automatic prepayment detection and recognition scheduling. When you upload invoices through email, web, or WhatsApp, the system performs extraction, categorization, and VAT compliance work. A new prepayment AI agent then analyzes transactions and drafts prepayment schedules, which you can review and publish for automatic recurring journal entry posting. ![Prepayment detection and schedule creation](https://briefcase.so/images/changelog/2025-04-22-prepayments-1.png) ## How it works - Upload invoices or receipts via email, web, or WhatsApp - Analysis occurs after bookkeeping workflow completion via the prepayment agent - Draft scheduling is created and displayed in the Prepayments tab - Review and publish the schedule for automatic journal posting - User control remains with options to reverse entries, edit amounts, or archive schedules ![Prepayment schedule review interface](https://briefcase.so/images/changelog/2025-04-22-prepayments-2.png) ## Current limitations Current prepayment detection functionality is restricted to Xero clients (QuickBooks support forthcoming), single-line transactions only, and monthly recognition schedules spread across multiple months. The system does not yet support one-time future-dated recognition scenarios. ![Prepayment journals in Xero](https://briefcase.so/images/changelog/2025-04-22-prepayments-3.png) [ PreviousAutomated invoice splitting ](https://briefcase.so/changelog/2025-03-31)[ NextAI learning trail and adjustable prepayment threshold ](https://briefcase.so/changelog/2025-04-29)
