Attach a Document to an Existing Transaction in Documents to Process

Prev Next

Documents can be attached to existing transactions in Restaurant365 in two ways:

Both methods attach a document to a transaction for reference or record keeping. Once attached, the document is removed from Documents to process and stored with the transaction.

Use the Documents to Process option when a document already exists in the queue and needs to be matched to a transaction. Use the transaction record workflow when reviewing or editing a transaction and attaching supporting documents at the same time.


Security

Users must have the following permission to attach documents to existing transactions:

  • Accounts Payable → Docs to Process â†’ Edit Docs to Process Documents

These permissions can be added to custom user roles or individual users. The Permission Access report can be used to determine which user roles or users already have these permissions assigned. For more information, see User Setup and Security.
