Attaching documents to bills

Having a proof of purchase document against transactions isn’t just handy, it’s important for compliance. Plus it saves you from trying to find the document later.

In MYOB you can attach a file, like a receipt or supplier invoice, to a bill as a reference to come back to, whenever you need.

You can attach PDF, TIFF, JPEG or PNG file types, and the files must be less than 10MB in size.
