Introduction

FINET allows you to upload and attach files to transactions. These attachments are treated as an extension of the transaction with the same FINET security. You will only be able to access attachments for transactions you are authorized to work with.
With the new enhancement, attachments to the header, component, and the warranty tabs of the various transactions now allow attachment retrieval to the following new pages:
            • Fixed Asset Registry Header (FARHDR)
            • Fixed Asset Registry Component (FARCOMP)
            • Fixed Asset Repair Maintenance (FARM)
            • Fixed Asset Warranty (FAWR)

Instructions
Attachments are uploaded at the tab level by clicking the Attachments button. If a tab includes an attachment, the total number of attachments for the tab will be included on the Attachments button.

If a tab allows more than one line, like the Vendor line, the attachments are uploaded to specific lines by clicking the attachments icon in the Attachments column of the grid. If a line in the grid includes attachments, then the total count of attachments for that line is added next to the icon in the grid for the selected record.

You can also view all attachments for the tab or selected line by selecting the attachments button or icon. Click the Attachments tab to see existing attachments. 

To upload an attachment on a draft transaction, click the Attachments button at the tab level or the Attachment icon at the line level. The Attachments window displays, allowing you to browse for an attachment or drag and drop an attachment from your computer.  
            1. Click the Browse button in the lower left to browse for additional files from your computer to upload or drag and drop additional files.
            2. Once all files are selected, click the Upload button in the lower right.
A message displays indicating the number of files that uploaded successfully and the Attachments tab shows the count for the number of attachments.
An error displays if the file size exceeds the maximum size. Click the "X" in the upper-right to remove the file

Viewing all attachments on a pending transaction
Once an attachment has been added to any level of a transaction, the Attachments Summary page can be accessed from the Smart Menu by selecting the View Attachments icon

If an attachment has been added to a transaction, then a count of the total number of attachments will appear on that View Attachments icon. The Attachments tab of the Attachments Summary page lists all attachments (by tab). You can view or download the attachments from the Attachments tab. You can view a history of all attachments on the History tab.

Removing attachments from a transaction
If your document is still there (not discarded) and final, you can follow the steps below to delete an attachment. These instructions work on most, but not all documents. Sometimes attachments are added to a transaction and later they are discovered to contain confidential information. You can delete attachments by following the steps below.
            1. Create a modification of a document (Version 2), by going into the top 3-dot menu , click Modify.
            2. Select Header tab. Click on Attachments button.
            3. Click on Attachments tab.
            4. Select the 3-dot menu. Click Delete.
            5. Hit Validate and Submit.
            6. Make sure to have the transaction approved.
After performing these steps, the attachments are not in Version 2. Version 1 will show attachments are there, but if you try to download them, a message will pop up letting you know the attachments cannot be located.

Uploading attachments to a final transaction
To upload an attachment on a final transaction without modifying the transaction, you will use the comment feature. Click the Smart Menu icon and then click Add Comment.

On the Transaction Comments page:
            1. Click the plus icon to add a row.
            2. Expand the row and enter a Subject and Comment.
            3. Click Save.
            4. Click the Attachments icon and browse for attachments or drag and drop one or more attachments.

Viewing attachments uploaded to a final transaction
Once the Transaction Comments window is closed, the transaction header updates to show the indicator on the Smart Menu where the Comment icon shows content exists. To view the attachments, click the Smart Menu icon. Click the Comment indicator.
On the Transactions Comments window, click the Attachments icon to open the attachments page, then click the Attachments tab to view the existing attachments.
