Header_EN_Stamp.png

To prevent errors during indexing, you can create a select list for a stamp. A colleague can take the stamp and then, for example, simply choose the corresponding number from a cost center select list – no need to type it in. The stamped invoice is then displayed as usual in the list of the responsible colleague. Here‘s how it works:

 

1. Create a fixed select list containing your cost centers – if there isn’t already one available. This can be done within DocuWare Administration under Organization > General > Select lists:

6. Assign the stamp to different employees - in the last step of the wizard.


7. Don‘t forget: After the stamp has been saved, please activate The user can only use entries from the selection list to set the field on the overview page. This is the only way to avoid incorrect entries.
