Attachments: To Scan a File and Attach It to a Record or Record Detail

In MYOB Acumatica, you can scan and attach files to a record (that is, an entity or a document created on a data entry form) or a record detail (a detail row or line of the entity or document). This topic provides instructions for scanning a file and attaching it to a record or to a record detail.

Tip: This functionality is available only if the DeviceHub feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form and at least one scanner has been configured in the DeviceHub application. For more information about configuring scanners in DeviceHub, see the topics of the Configuring Hardware Devices in DeviceHub chapter.
