Attach a Document to a Record

You can attach documents to just about any record in AcctVantage. Some specific examples of how to use this feature might be:

  • Attach a contract to a Client or Vendor record.
  • Attach a schematic to an Assembly Product record.
  • Attach a Client's Purchase Order to a Sales Order record.
  • Attach a Vendor Invoice to a Voucher record.
  • and many others...

Most of the common document file types are supported (PDF, DOC, TXT, JPG, etc).

Before you attach a document, be sure the file is not open in another program.

  • black paper clip - there are no files attached to the record
