What is a Zip File?

Zip files are single files that contain one or more compressed files. Electronic invoice files can be ‘zipped’ together to create batches of invoices to upload. 

Note: These instructions are for Windows users only. 

Creating a Zip File 

1. Locate the files you would like to zip/compress together. 

• These will be your firm’s invoices for a given service period. 

 

2. Select or highlight all of your related invoices. You may use the click-and-drag method to select a group of files or hold down the CTRL button while clicking to add files to your selected group individually. 

 

3. Right-click your selected files and select “Send to” > “Compressed (zipped) folder”. 

 

4. A compressed file will be created and you will be allowed to rename the file before it is finalized. 

 

 

5. You have now successfully created a zipped/compressed file which will contain all the files you selected. 

Uploading a Zip File 

1. On the Upload Invoice page in Acuity, attach your newly created compressed file. 

2. Check the upload results to confirm a successful upload.
