Linking a Document Manager document to a period

If you have Document Manager, you can link a Document Manager document to a period. This is good for documents that don't relate to a specific account.

To link a Document Manager document to a period

Go to the client’s Client Accounting > Trial Balance (Workpapers) tab and click a period in the Select Period section. See Opening an existing period.
On the TASKS bar, click Open Period. The table for the period appears.
Click the Non-account specific documents checkbox.
On the TASKS bar, click Link document. The Search for a document window appears.

See also searching tips below this procedure.
Select the documents to link and click OK. The Link Document window appears.
Leave the Account field blank.
Make sure that the correct document name is displayed in Document Name.
To include the document in the next rollover period, click the Rollover this document to the next period checkbox. During rollover, the previous workpaper period is used as a base, and the link to the document is recreated and included on the same account in the next period.
Click Link. The document is linked to the period, displayed below Non-account specific documents in the table, and identified by a paperclip
icon.
