# Documents
# Listing documents
The documents section contains two subsections:
- Inbox
- Sent
Under each subsection is a page for each supported document category. The main difference between the two subsections is that Inbox
lists all documents sent to you and Sent
lists all documents issued by you. All document list pages display some basic information:
Column | Description |
---|---|
Details | A link to the detailed document page |
Document number | Number extracted from the document |
Type | Category of the document: Invoice, Order etc. |
Date | Date extracted from the document |
Reception date | When the document was created on the platform |
Buyer / Supplier name | Name of the document recipient |
Buyer / Supplier VAT id | VAT id of the document recipient |
TIP
Basic columns are chosen by relevance to the document category. Additional columns can be activated from the settings side sheet.
# Filtering
All pages have filters which allow you to quickly find a specific document or a group of documents.
TIP
For example, all documents sent between two dates, can be found by using the Reception date ( from )
and Reception date ( to )
filters.
# Ordering
All pages are ordered by Reception date
, displaying the latest documents first. Other options for ordering are:
- Number
- Type
- Date ( of document )

pages, contains a Details

button will open the tools menu. It offers several options ( depending on the type of document you are viewing ). The possible actions are:

The lines tab is displayed for documents with items like invoices, orders, etc.
# Search function
The lines tab contains a search input, which allows you to filter document lines. This is helpful when there are multiple lines and you need to find a particular piece of information. The search filters all line properties like description, amounts, quantity, etc.
# Pagination
Sometimes a document can contain a large number of lines. To accommodate for this scenario, the lines tab is paginated. The default page size is 15 and can be changed to 30 or 50.

# Copying a document
The copy functionality allows you to quickly create documents, by using old documents as a starting point.

WARNING
When copying old documents, the contacts, bank information and terms and conditions might have to be selected manually.

The flip functionality allows you to quickly turn one document type into another related type. For example a purchase order can be flipped into an invoice, an invoice can be flipped into a credit note.
Clicking on the Flip to
option in the document tools menu will navigate you to the document flip form. It is very similar to the document create form with a few exceptions:
- Document type cannot be changed
- All data from the source document ( with the exception of document number and date ) is pre-filled
- The reference to the source document is pre-filled
TIP
Flipping options are strictly related to the document type. For example a purchase order can be flipped into an invoice or a proform invoice, but an invoice can only be flipped into a credit note.
WARNING
