CSV import for the costs

[Iepoev]

This was the costs can be premade in software such as excel instead of having to type it into html forms

Which format will those CSV files have? Can you give an example?

[Iepoev]

seeing as the invoice template requires costs to consists of date, description and cost.
Because the description might contain commas, maybe we should use semicolons as separator?

Date;Description;Cost
16/07/17;Standgeld Partnerstand;212,16
16/07/17;Huur tafels, stoelen en licht;51,20

CSV solves this by using quotation marks for each field. I have created a CSV import feature in Rails for another application, which had to be flexible with these kinds of things. I will into this once we can add items to invoices.

Actual usage with excel shouldn't be a problem either. There are plenty of applications which will parse xlsx files just fine. We could provide a simple template which should be filled in, without the user having to export as .csv
