How does the Scan my Bills screen work?
The Scan my Bills button is located in the toolbar along the top of the Transaction screen.
If there are no documents to import, the following screen will appear when you click on the Bills button.
If there are documents ready to import into your database, the Scan my Bills - Documents box will automatically appear when you enter the Transaction screen.
Overview of the Scan my Bills - Documents box
The Documents box is divided into two areas; Workflow and Functions.
WORKFLOW
- Refresh
Refresh is a manual sync and must be used to update any data changes for the documents. For example when moving a document from Review Pending up to Ready for Coding.
When refresh is used, all functions within the scan my bills window are greyed out.
There are three document sections which indicate what part of the process each document is sitting in.
-
Ready for Coding
Documents in this section have a supplier name and the invoice line amounts balance to the total amount due.
You can import them into the Transaction screen as either a new transaction or into a transaction that already exists in the Transaction screen. -
Review Required
Depending on the invoice information that has been picked up from the document i.e. supplier name, Scan my Bills will determine if a transaction can be created.If the service can't pick up a supplier name and/or gross total amount, you need to review the document in the Xtracta web browser to add the missing fields.
-
Review Pending
When you review the document in the Xtracta browser and either don't save or close out of the web page.
The document will remain in this section until you review it and save the document settings.
Scan my Bills needs to recognise specific pieces of information within a document before it can be brought to the Transaction screen.
