What you get
Wave’s CSV upload brings in transactions rather than invoices, so Fjordbill exports the money you actually received: one deposit per payment, in the format Wave documents for statement uploads (Accounting → Transactions → More → Upload transactions). It’s an easy way to get your Fjordbill income into Wave without retyping it.
| Column | What Fjordbill puts in it |
|---|---|
| Date | The payment date as YYYY-MM-DD, the year-first format Wave reads. Future-dated payments are skipped, because Wave doesn’t accept them |
| Description | Words Wave can show on the transaction, e.g. “Payment from Summit Dental Group for invoice INV-0139” |
| Amount | The amount received, as a plain positive number (a deposit) |
