For smaller customers, there is a function for manual registration of invoices that can be used instead of interpretation service.
The function means that the invoices are scanned in any scanner and stored in a predefined directory on the server.
It is possible to, in the administration tool, create several queues for manual registration if, for example, you want different queues for different companies.
In the system, there is a predefined stage in the workflow called Manual invoice registration. The invoices in this step are displayed in the work queue with the same name, or in the extra queues for manual registration that have been created, one or more roles must thus be authorized for these queues.
Register invoice
Click on one of the work queues for manual invoice registration, on the right side of the work queue window is displayed information on how many scanned invoice images there are to register and how many attachments there are to link.
Click the Register button to open the registration form.
When opening the registration form, the above window is displayed, the first invoice image in the catalog with the scanned invoices is displayed automatically.
Fields for registration of invoice information
Which fields for invoice information are displayed are optional, which are to be displayed on the form are controlled via System configuration - Import - Invoice import configuration in the administration tool
To the left of each field is a check box that can be used to keep the current field information during a registration session, so values such as batch numbers, companies, etc. do not need to be entered again for each invoice.
