Upload Examples

There are various methods for uploading a supporting document. For example, to upload a supporting document for an AP Voucher, you use the Supporting Documents dialog box. After uploading the document, a paperclip icon displays in the Vouchers grid to indicate that a supporting document was uploaded for the line item.

Or, to upload receipts that are in support of an expense report, click the Attach Receipts button or use the Other Actions > Upload Receipts menu option to open the Expense Reports Receipts dialog box and then browse to and select the receipt file. After you save, the receipt is listed in the grid with an icon indicating an attached file.

Files Administration Utility

Use the Files Administration utility to search for and view any of the supporting documents and files that are uploaded. This utility also confirms that the uploaded files are synchronized between the Vantagepoint and FileStream databases. See Utilities > Files Administration in the desktop application.

Vantagepoint On-Premises

If you use the Vantagepoint on-premises product, you can upload supporting documents only if your administrator has configured the Transaction Document Management (TDM) feature and FileStream. The Deltek Vantagepoint Technical Installation Guide provides your administrator with detailed instructions.

If you use the Vantagepoint Cloud product, the Deltek Cloud Ops Team sets up and maintains TDM and FileStream for you.
