Attaching Receipts in PeopleSoft Fluid

Receipts can be attached to an expense report at the header level, line level, or both. This topic discussed the pages used to attach receipts.

Receipt attachments can be included in My Wallet and expense report transactions. Fluid expenses allows you to load a receipt by taking a picture using a smartphone device and upload the image from your device, or from your local and network drive if you are using your computer. You can also load receipt images received from text messages.

When uploading documents to an expense report header or line, you can select more than one document when using PeopleTools 8.59 or higher.

The Attachments page can look and operate slightly different depending on whether you access it from an expense report header or an expense report line, on a desktop or smartphone, and from the My Wallet or Expense Entry pages.
