Supporting documents
- Prepare original document and the purpose for which it was issued.
Completing and checking data
- Open “Types of documents” for the active company and search for the existing record before adding a new entry.
- Compare document category and the workflow in which it is processed with the documents. For an existing item, select the row and choose “Edit row details” in its details and options window, then correct only information you can justify in the form. Calculated values and historical links remain available for checking only.
- Check whether the document is an invoice, delivery note, receipt, statement or another supporting document. A delivery note or proforma must not automatically be treated as a tax invoice.
- Check the form and save the item. Close the form before adding or editing another item.
- Continue to the page using these details and check the record in the transaction's context, including its effect on reports.
The reviewed entry was saved without rewriting historical documents.

Practical example
You have the supplier’s invoice and the cash receipt for its payment. Choose distinct document types and check their link. The receipt does not become a second invoice or double the purchase value.

Compare identification and details determining the record’s purpose: code, partner, unit, stock location or period as applicable. Check documents using each record. Choose the record reflecting reality; do not rename or remove a used record merely to hide a duplicate.
