Documents

Link a document to an entry

Approve the suggested matches between your documents and your entries, or link them yourself.

Every document should support an entry. ark.flow Compta links the obvious cases itself and suggests the others for your approval.

A document is linked automatically when the match leaves no room for doubt: an exact amount, only one possible entry, and no conflicting supplier. For a subscription billed at the same amount every month, the entry with the closest date is chosen.

In every other case, ark.flow suggests the most likely entry without linking it.

Approve a suggestion

  1. Open Documents, To process tab. The With suggestion filter shows only documents that have a suggestion.
  2. Each card shows why it matched: Matching amount, Matching date, Matching vendor.
  3. Click Link if the suggestion is right, or Ignore if it isn’t.

Two badges explain particular cases:

  • Future: the invoice belongs to a future period, so the entry probably doesn’t exist yet. It will be suggested once the relevant bank statement is imported.
  • Locked: the invoice belongs to a closed period.

Open the document’s preview in the Linked tab, then click Unlink this entry. The document goes back to To process.

Documents without a suggestion

A document with no matching entry stays in To process. Common causes: the bank statement with the payment hasn’t been imported yet, or reading failed (Error filter, Retry button). After a new import, Re-scan orphans runs the search again.
