The Document Manager, which adds, edits and removes documents from accounts, its standard functionality throughout MYOB Exo Business, such as in the GL, Creditors and Stock modules.

It may be useful for your business to maintain copies of documents that you send each Creditor/Debtor.

Any file that is recognized by Windows, including spreadsheets, documents, and graphics, can be attached to the account. Any email sent from MYOB Exo Business is automatically attached to the relevant account. You can either store documents as attachments, or in the Exo Business database. You can export a document stored in the Exo Business database back to a standalone file.

The template is a fixed format, once imported, the document is stored inside the database. It is backed up when you back up your database. If you import many large documents, the size of your database is substantially increased.

Note: If you transport the database frequently, the use of this feature should be minimal. It is recommended that you do not store large documents here.

To create documents for an account, click the Documents tab in the account masters window.
