Documents to Process: Manual Upload

Prev Next

Documents can be uploaded on the Documents to Process page or from the Create Menu. Manual uploads are one option of several upload methods and may be useful when documents are contained on one computer or when values need to be assigned to the documents upon upload.


Security

Users must have one of the following permissions to upload documents to Documents to Process.

  • Accounts Payable → Docs to Process → Upload Docs to Process Documents

  • Food → Docs to Process → Upload 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.


Manually Upload a File

Files can be uploaded on the Documents to Process page or by selecting Upload File from the Create Menu in the top ribbon.

Click steps to expand for additional information and images.

Or

Open the Create Menu, then select Upload File.

2) In the Upload File window, select Browse to search for a file to upload or drag the file from its folder on your device to the Upload File window.

3) Select Assign Values to expand the Assign Values section and complete the fields to provide more information on the uploaded file. (Optional)

  • Set the Document Type: Invoice or Credit Memo.

  • Select the location to be associated with the document.

    • For organizations with Capture AI, if a location is assigned by a user during import, Capture AI will not override with OCR-detected values. OCR will override default locations if no user-specified location is provided.

    • If the uploading user has access to only one location, that location is assigned automatically and cannot be changed.

  • Select a User to assign the document to them.

  • If the document needs immediate processing and payment, select High Priority to mark the priority on the Documents to Process screen.

4) Select Upload to import the file.

5) Select Upload More Files to continue importing or select Dismiss to exit the window.

If the document matches an existing upload, a ‘Possible duplicate’ issue is added.

Documents that have been archived or deleted are not considered for duplicate detection.

For organizations using AP Capture AI, documents flagged as ‘Possible duplicates’ are not processed automatically, even if Automatic OCR Processing is enabled in System Preferences.
