Scanning Documents

Invoices, journal entries and requisitions can be scanned and saved before being processed further electronically. If you have a scanner, you can scan your documents and save them as attachments, e.g. to journal entries in the program. Read more in Linking a Document to a Journal.

Some program suppliers deliver custom-made programs for the scanning and further electronic processing of different types of documents. Especially invoices from your suppliers are specifically well-suited for this type of treatment. To facilitate this, you require scanning software and often also OCR software. OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition and is a program which 'reads' and translates texts in an electronic document and which you can gradually 'teach' to translate texts you scan often.
