Q&A of the Month: Re-Linking Scanned Invoices
Sarah Dixon, FBS Technical Services Manager.
Q. I use the Scanner Interface and need to delete an accounting entry that has a scanned document linked to it. How do I do that without losing the document so that I can attach it to another entry?
A. This situation comes up from time to time for various reasons. It only takes a few steps to correct!
1. Open the entry that you need to delete and click on the Display Linked Invoice button and make a note of the name of the linked document.
It should be your three company initials, the year and a 3-4 digit number, as in this example: BFH-13-5486.PDF.
2. Go to your invoice folder, which will be under your data directory ( for example: FBSWIN81/Data/Invoices) and locate the file you made note of in step 1 and rename by changing the number in the middle to two capital X's, so the name would appear like this BFH-XX-5486. This will unlink the document.
3. Delete the accounting entry and link the renamed file to the new entry.
You can learn more about using the Scanner Interface at the "Ultra-Efficient Office" breakout session on Day 2 of the FBS User Conference.
