Article summary

Restaurant Managers can upload relevant documents to Documents to Process directly from the R365 Red App. For Vendors that only provide physical copies of an Invoice or Credit Memo, Users can simply take a photo of the document with their phone and directly upload it to the system. With this simple functionality, Users can upload any important documents with ease and then enter the details of each transaction at a later time.

It is important to note that the photos and/or files uploaded will be saved as a combined PDF in Documents to Process. If photos and/or files should be separated, ensure to repeat this process for each.


Security

Uploading Documents to Process is available to Users with either one of the following Permissions:

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

  • Food → Docs to Process → Upload Docs to Process Documents


Upload Files

Users can directly upload files from their device or take a photo of each document and upload them to the R365 Red App. Follow the process below to ensure that all documents are uploaded successfully.

Step 1: Upload a Photo or File

After logging in to the R365 Red App, open the menu and tap the 'Upload Files' button. This will open a menu where the User can select whether to take a photo, upload a photo, or upload files.

R365 supports the following files types:

  • JPG

  • PNG

Option 1: Take Photos

If taking a picture for the first time, allow R365 to gain access to the camera by selecting 'Ok'.

The screen will appear where the User can take a photo of a document. Once the photo is taken, four icons will be displayed around the image:

  • - This will close out of the window without saving

  •  - This will delete the selected photo

  •  - This will enable the User to take an additional photo. All photos will be listed at the bottom of the screen and can be selected and deleted before uploading all photos

  •  - This will upload the photo(s) to the 'Create New Doc' screen

Once all photos are taken, click the checkmark icon to upload the photo(s) to the 'Create New Doc' screen.

Option 2: Upload Photos

When 'Upload Photos' is chosen, a confirmation message will appear asking to allow R365 access to the device's photo library. Tap 'Yes' to allow access and then the screen will open to the 'Recents' gallery of images.
