File transport
Under , you can specify an incoming invoice format and recipient profile, file transport means, and more specific rules for every recipient you have set up in Kofax Invoice Portal.
Invoice content requirements
-
Select the following options for invoice content:
- Prevent duplicate invoice numbers within same year: Select if you want the system to check whether the supplier has already sent an invoice with the same invoice number during the previous 12 months.
- Append attachments to PDF documents: Select
to include attachments content in the invoice file when it is generated as a PDF.
Some recipients set up receiving invoices as PDF files to their email address.
If the recipient profile supports it, some recipients set up receiving invoices both in XML and PDF formats.
When viewing an invoice in the web interface, any authorized user can save it as a PDF file.
- Attach original documents, too: When the previous option is enabled, select to include attachments also in their original format, such as a Microsoft Word document.
- Receive additional invoice information in the PDF: Select to include additional document reference and other party details to your PDF file.
-
Line separator in the PDF: Select this option if you want to add a separator between invoice lines to improve the readability of PDF invoices consisting of more than one line.
