Attach and View Expense Receipts for an Invoice

Many companies require firms to include a copy of receipts for expenses. Sometimes, a company's billing policy requires a receipt if the expense item is greater than a specified value. Tracker lets you attach one electronic expense receipt file (typically, in a .pdf or .TIF format) with each invoice.
If there is an existing expense receipt file and you attach a new expense receipt file then the new file overwrites the old file. Contact your law firm's IT department if you have questions about how to save multiple receipts in a single file.
