Attaching Receipts to a Transaction

You can attach one or more receipts to a transaction in PaymentNet. For example, your company policy might require that you attach receipts to transactions that exceed a specific dollar amount.

You can attach receipts at any time, regardless of the transaction’s approval or export status. There is no limit to the number of receipts that can be attached to a transaction.

This topic describes how to add receipts to a single transaction by either upload or fax. For instructions about how to add receipts to multiple transactions, see Attaching Receipts to Multiple Transactions.

To upload a scanned receipt:

  1. Select Transactions > Manage. Or, while viewing other information about an account, select Take me to > Transaction List - Last 30 Days to see a list of recent transactions for the current account.

  2. Click the transaction to which you want to attach a receipt.

  3. Click the Receipts tab.

  4. Click Attach Receipt.

  5. Click Browse, select a file to upload, and click Open. By default, the image file name is used as the receipt name; you can modify the receipt name but you cannot leave this field blank.

    Note:Only PDF, JPG, GIF, TIFF, and PNG file types are allowed. The scanned image file must be no larger than 5 MB.

  6. Complete the reference data fields in Receipt Reference Data Fields. All fields except the receipt name are optional.

  7. Click Upload Receipt.

    Repeat steps 4 through 7 to upload additional receipts and attach them to the same transaction.

To fax your receipts:

  1. Select Transactions > Manage. Or, while viewing other information about an account, select Take me to > Transaction List - Last 30 Days to see a list of recent transactions for the current account.

  2. Click the transaction to which you want to attach a receipt.

  3. Click the Receipts tab.

  4. Click Print FAX Cover Sheet.

  5. Complete the reference data fields in Receipt Reference Data Fields. All fields except the receipt name are optional.

If the transaction is incorrect, close the window, change your selection on the Transaction List screen, and repeat steps 3 through 6 to generate a new cover sheet.

  7. Print the displayed cover sheet and then fax your receipts to the number indicated on the cover sheet. The cover sheet must be the first page of your fax transmission, followed by the individual receipt images.
