Folder paths

In Settings > Company settings > Basic settings, chose the correct storage provider and change the paths for Hot folder and Archive folder.

We recommend that you create a folder called Vouchers (or something similar) in your Google Drive. In this folder, create two sub folders. We use the terms Hot folder and Archive folder. The first one – Hot folder – is the folder to which you can upload or copy new creditor invoices. If this folder contains any files, the agent you have set up in the previous step will rename them according to the voucher sequence set up under Settings > Finance > Voucher sequences, and make them available in your Vendor invoice management.Please remember to click the update icon  in the upper right corner when you have made changes.
