Documents to Process Page

Prev Next

The Documents to Process page contains all documents that have been uploaded for transaction creation. The page also includes a Recently Completed tab where transactions that were recently created can be reviewed. Both tabs have a card view and table view. The table view includes bulk edit actions by selecting multiple documents. The card view displays document details alongside a thumbnail image of the document.

From this page users can perform the following actions:

  • View documents

  • Create transactions manually

  • Create transactions with OCR

  • Merge documents

  • Split documents

  • Assign document locations or transaction types

  • Reset documents

  • Archive documents

Selecting the Create or Review button in a document row opens the Draft Transaction sidesheet where users can match information from the document to fields in R365.

Issues

Notes that identify problems or concerns with an uploaded document, such as an incorrect vendor or a duplicate invoice number.

If the system detects that the document’s content matches an existing upload, it adds a Possible duplicate issue.

Duplicate detection is based on the document’s content and type, not the file name.

Users can also add issues manually by selecting Add Issue when viewing a document entry.

Status

Displays the current status of the document. Users may see any of the following statuses:

  • Verification Needed - The document has been processed but the draft transaction has errors that need to be addressed.

    • The document can be reprocessed using the ‘create’ option.

This column is only displayed when AP Capture AI is enabled.

Actions

Displayed actions vary based on the document’s status. The following actions may appear:

  • Review: Opens the Draft Transaction Details in split view of the transaction. Users can review the document, compare it with the transaction, and confirm or correct fields populated by OCR.

    • This action is available only when the document is in Ready for Review or Verification Needed status.

  • Create:

    • For organizations with Capture AI, Create initiates OCR processing for AP Credit Memos and AP Invoices.

    • For organizations without Capture AI, Create opens Split View in the accounting or operations view, based on user permissions and preferences.

    • For journal entries, Create opens a split view of the document and journal entry record.

To prevent multiple users from entering the same transaction, enable Document Locking on the Miscellaneous tab in System Preferences.

When a document is locked, a grayed-out Locked button replaces Create. If the user is inactive for more than 30 minutes, the system saves the transaction and unlocks the document, making Create available again.
