What options do I have to submit scanned invoices to Finmatics?

To submit scanned invoices to Finmatics, you have two options:

1. Directly through the "Scan" button in the company portal
2. Using the Scan to Mail function

What do I need to scan directly via the Finmatics web portal?

1. Scanner with TWAIN interface

You can use your existing document scanner for scanning with Finmatics, as long as it has a TWAIN interface. This interface exists in most common scanners.

2. PC/Laptop with scanner and internet connection

You'll also need a PC or laptop with an internet connection and a connection to the scanner. The optimal setup is a local connection between the PC/laptop and the scanner.

3. Access to Finmatics

You can get access to Finmatics either during the onboarding process or through the responsible administrator of your company's Finmatics web portal.

What resolution should my scanner have?

For optimal scan quality, the resolution should be at least 300 dpi and scanned in grayscale or in black and white.

How do I connect my scanner to Finmatics?

How does the scanning function work?

In the To Do, Workflow or Transfers screen, click on "Scan" located at the upper right corner.

If the scan driver is already installed, the scanning menu will open, where you need to select the client, process, and booking period. Additionally, depending on the interface, you can expand the "Advanced Settings" to adjust the scanning settings or use "Display Scansoftware" to ensure that when you click on "Scan," your scanner's settings appear.

All advanced settings are dependent on the scanner you are using and are suggested by the scanner itself. The language of the menu prompts for document source, resolution, color, page size, and OCR is also determined by the scanner you are using.

Once you click on "Scan," the pages will be scanned and can be directly uploaded to the Finmatics portal.

How do I use Finmatics with a multifunction device?

Scanning with multifunctional devices is possible if the device is connected locally to a PC.
