02Initial setup

What happens after the first login?

After your first login BizNow shows a mandatory window for registering your first company. You cannot skip this step. You must fill in the company details (company ID, name, address), choose a subscription plan and enter payment details.

How do I fill in the company details?

Enter the company ID and click "Look up company ID". BizNow looks up your company in the Slovak business register and automatically fills in the name, address, tax ID and other details. You can also fill in the details manually.

03Main panel and navigation

What are the main sections of BizNow?

BizNow has 6 main tabs:

  1. Overviews - Financial reports and charts

  3. Business partners - Database of clients and suppliers
  4. Employees - Management of employees and positions
  5. Reminders - Scheduled reminders

The filter bar below the header lets you filter data by:

  • Company - Choose the company whose data you want to see
  • Site - Choose a specific site or all of them
  • Year - Choose a year
  • Month - Choose one or more months, or all of them

All tables and reports update automatically when you change the filters.

How do I switch between dark and light mode?

Click the profile icon in the top right corner. Toggle the dark/light mode switch.

04Uploading documents

How do I upload a document (invoice, receipt, delivery note)?

Click the "+ Add document" button in the header and choose "Add invoice / receipt / delivery note / proforma". A dialog opens to choose a file (PDF, image) from your computer.

What happens after I upload a document?

After uploading, the document appears in Documents → Uploaded documents with the status "processing". BizNow's artificial intelligence automatically extracts the data from the document (invoice number, dates, amounts, tax information, supplier details). When processing is complete, the document moves to "Documents to approve", where you can check and approve it.

Can I upload documents by email?

Yes! Every site can have its own dedicated email address (e.g. YourCompany_Site@mail.cywotech.com). Just forward or send invoices to this address and they will be processed automatically. You set up the email in Settings → My sites.

Can I upload documents from my phone?

Yes. Use the BizNow mobile app (Android or iOS) to photograph or upload documents straight from your phone. They sync automatically with your BizNow account.

What file types can I upload?

BizNow supports PDF files and common image formats (JPG, PNG). For the best AI processing results we recommend the PDF format. Excel and Word files are also supported, and ZIP for archiving. The maximum file size is 5 MB.

What if the PDF file is password-protected?

Password-protected PDF files cannot be processed by the AI, because the AI cannot read the content of a locked document. You can, however, upload such files as attachments to existing documents or to the Contracts and other documents section for archiving. For AI processing you need to upload an unprotected (unlocked) PDF.

My document is stuck in the processing status. What should I do?

If a document has been processing for more than 30 minutes, a delete button appears. You can delete the stuck document and upload it again. If the problem persists, contact support.

05Creating documents manually

How do I create a document manually without uploading a file?

Click "+ Add document" and choose "Create invoice / receipt / delivery note / proforma". The document editor opens, where you fill in all the fields yourself. The document is saved straight to the "Documents to approve" section. AI processing is not needed; before approving you can check it and edit it as needed.

Which fields do I fill in when creating a document?

The document editor has two panels:

  • Left panel: Business partner information (name, company ID, tax ID, address), document information (number, dates), status (document type, cost/revenue, payment status, posting)
  • Right panel: Financial details - invoice lines with amounts, VAT rates and category assignment
How do I add a cash desk entry?

Click "+ Add document" → "Add cash desk deposit/withdrawal". A cash desk entry form opens, where you choose the cash desk and enter the amount, category and other details.

How do I add a payroll cost?

Click "+ Add document" → "Add payroll cost". Fill in the employee, wage type, payment method, gross/net wage, contributions and the period (month/year).

How do I add a contract or another document?

Click "+ Add document" → "Add contract and other document". A form for contracts and other non-standard documents opens.

06Approving documents

Where do I find documents waiting for approval?

Go to Documents → Documents to approve. This table shows all documents that were processed by the AI or created manually and are waiting for your review.

How do I approve a document?

In the "Documents to approve" table every document has action buttons:

  1. Click the Edit icon (pencil) to review and correct the data extracted by the AI
  2. In the editor check the business partner, amounts, dates, VAT rates and categories
  3. Click "Approve" to approve the document, or "Save" to save changes without approving
What happens after a document is approved?

The document moves from "Documents to approve" to the relevant table of approved documents:

  • Cost invoices → Approved costs → Invoices
  • Cost receipts → Approved costs → Receipts
  • Revenue invoices → Approved revenue → Invoices
  • Delivery notes → the relevant table of delivery notes
Can I delete a document from the approval queue?

Yes. Click the Delete icon (bin) on the document row. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.

07Editing and viewing approved documents

How do I view an approved document?

Go to the relevant table in Approved costs or Approved revenue. Click the View icon (eye) to open the document with its PDF and all details.

Can I edit an approved document?

Yes, as long as the document is not locked. Click the Edit icon (pencil) to change the document details. If the document is locked, you must unlock it first (this requires the appropriate permission).

Can I duplicate a document?

Yes. When viewing an approved document you can use the duplicate function to create a copy with pre-filled data. This is useful for recurring invoices.

08Splitting an invoice

What is invoice splitting?

Invoice splitting lets you divide one invoice into several lines with different amounts, VAT rates and categories. This is useful when one invoice covers several cost/revenue categories. For example, if you have an invoice for EUR 500 where EUR 300 is for materials and EUR 200 for transport, you can split it into two lines and assign each its own category.

How do I split an invoice?

When editing a document, look at the right panel, where the invoice lines are shown. Click the "+" button to add more lines. Each line can have its own amount, VAT rate (e.g. 0%, 10%, 19%, 20%, 23%) and category. The sum of all lines must equal the total amount of the invoice.

What happens to a split invoice in the system?

Split invoices are marked with a special type (e.g. split invoice, split receipt) and shown with a different icon in the document tables. The structure of the split is preserved, so you always see the breakdown.

09Cash desk

What is the Cash desk section?

Documents → Cash desk shows all cash desk transactions - deposits and withdrawals from your physical cash registers. They include both tax and non-tax transactions.

How do I filter cash desk transactions?

Use the type drop-down filter at the top of the table:

  • Cost (Tax) - Tax costs
  • Cost (Non-tax) - Non-tax costs
  • Revenue (Tax) - Tax revenue
  • Revenue (Non-tax) - Non-tax revenue
  • Archived - Archived records
How do I find the current cash desk balance?

Go to Overviews → Cash desk balances to see the current balance of all your cash desks.

10Payroll costs

Where do I manage payroll?

Go to Documents → Payroll costs. This table shows all payroll records with the employee name, wage type, amounts and payment method.

How do I add a payroll record?

Click "+ Add document" → "Add payroll cost". Fill in:

  • The wage type (Gross wage / Net wage / etc.)
  • The payment method (Account or Cash; for cash choose the cash desk)
  • Financial data: Total labour cost, Gross wage, Net wage, Contributions
  • The period: Month and Year

14Categories

Why are categories important?

Categories let you split costs and revenue exactly according to your needs. Every business has different requirements for tracking finances - a restaurant needs to track food, drinks and staff, while an IT company tracks licences, hardware and services. In BizNow you create your own category structure tailored to your business.

How do categories work?

In the category tree click the "+" button on the parent category to add a subcategory. Fill in the category name and save.

Yes. The visibility of categories can be set for each organization/site. This means different sites can have different category options available.
