# Overview

The importing of TradeNet creditor invoices allows you to quickly import creditor invoices ready for [Stock Invoice Approval](https://sterlandsupport.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FRAM/pages/28385042). This process imports the appropriate header information and product details which then match the imported lines to the stock receipts.
