Instructions
This job aid is to be used within Express Billing in order to attach documents to an invoice, with the added option of automatically emailing the attached documents to the customer along with the invoice.
This process is to be done before moving an invoice to Ready (RDY) status.

2) Navigate to the Express Billing page
3) From the Express Billing page, verify that the invoice is in a 'New' status

It is now possible to add the supporting documents to the invoice at the header and line level, which will be shared as email attachments along with the invoice after the invoice has been processed.
5) Navigate to the Supporting Documentation page
6) From the Supporting Documentation page, you can attach documents at the header level by clicking the 'Upload' button

- You can view the attached documentation by using the 'View' button
- If you want to add multiple documentation files, click on the '+' button, and then use the upload button of the new row to attach a file
- If you want to delete an attachment that is already uploaded, click on the '' icon of that row
7) If you would like to add attachemnts at the line level, click the 'Line Documentation' tab
8) For each line, you can attach supporting documents by clicking the 'Edit Supporting Documents' link
This will open the Edit Supporting Documents window.
9) Attach the supporting documents at the line level by clicking the 'Upload' button
- Make sure to uncheck the check box as it will be checked by default
- Click the 'View' button to view the attachment that is being uploaded
- Click the 'OK' button after uploading the attachment
10) From the Line Documentation tab, click the 'Save' button to save the changes
11) Navigate back to the Express Billing page and switch the Bill status to Ready (RDY)
Now we are ready to finalize and process the invoice.
To do this, we will need to navigate to the Single Action Invoice page.

- Posting Action: In the Posting Action section, select the 'Batch Standard' option if you would like the system to assign the posting action of batch standard to the pending items that are created by this job
- Range Selection: In the Range Selection section, select the 'Invoice ID' option and fill out the 'Business Unit,' 'From Invoice,' and 'To Invoice' fields, since we are running one invoice
13) Once these sections have been completed and filled out, click the 'Run' button at the top of the page
14) From the Process Scheduler Request, select the 'UC Single Action Invoice' check box, and click the 'OK' button
15) Click the 'Process Monitor' link and then wait until the process Run Status displays as 'Success' and the Distribution Status displays as 'Posted'
