The Document Manager is a company-wide option to access all documents that are in agrē.
The Document Manager allows you to upload and organize all types of documents (including inventory receipt attachments, eDocuments, eSignatures, emails, field scout photos, etc.) from one central place.
The Documents tab on the Customer Account may make it easier to manage documents belonging to a single customer.
(you can also manage customer documents from the Documents menu item on the Agronomy Centre in the Customer Details section)
The Documents tab on the Supplier Account may make it easier to manage documents belonging to a single supplier.
Documents can be attached directly to some transactions forms (e.g. Work Orders, Inventory Receipts, Purchase Invoices, Crop Plans).
Some report documents can previewed and saved as eDocuments (with or without eSignatures)
