To create a spend money transaction using an In Tray document

(Available in AccountRight 2019.3 and later)

1. Ensure your file is online, and checked in (look for the green status bar at the bottom of your AccountRight window).
2. Go to the Banking command centre and click In Tray.
3. If you haven’t already, add the document to the In Tray. If you:
   • drag the document to the In Tray, or click Add Documents, you’ll see the upload status, and a blue icon to indicate we’re working on getting it ready for you.
   • email the document to the In Tray, it will appear in the In Tray after a minute or two.
     For more information on adding documents to the In Tray, see Working with In Tray documents.

4. Select a document that’s ready to use (there’s no blue icon on the thumbnail), and click Create New Spend Money. If this button isn't active, click the Refresh  button at the top of the window. The Spend Money window appears. AccountRight uses optical character recognition (OCR) to read and automatically fill in as many of the fields on the bill as possible.
   
   
   

5. You then just need to check the details in the transaction that have been filled for you, complete the remaining details and click Record. The transaction is recorded and the document is attached to it. Spend money transactions with attached documents are indicated by an icon next to it:
