The Document list view

This view displays individual documents or batches that are available for processing.

To access this view, log in to Tungsten AP Essentials Office.

This view displays individual documents or batches that are available for processing. You can use the navigation menu on the left to filter the documents according to various production states and perform other actions, such as uploading documents. The document list contains details such as the file name, track ID, status and other document information. You can use the boxes at the top of each column to filter the results using "begins with" style searching. Similarly, you can use the search box at the top of the view to search all of the columns simultaneously (excluding the Received, Gross Amount and Total Amount columns).

When you search for dates using the search box at the top of the view, you must type the entire date in YYYYMMDD format.

The settings displayed can vary, depending on:

  • your role.

  • your privileges.

  • how many buyers your organization has.

  • which document process you use. For example, the view can display AP documents, AR documents or both, depending on your roll and which document processes are in use.

Use this view to manage documents you want to process.

Sends Complete documents to the target system, while leaving incomplete documents behind to continue processing. This is helpful, for example, if you keep batches together and have a large batch of documents that are ready to be sent to the target system, except for one document that is being delayed for some reason. In this case, you can click this button to send all of the Complete documents in the batch to the target system.

This button is available in Documents mode and Batches mode in the In progress and All documents view. When you select individual documents (in Documents mode), only the selected documents with the Complete status are sent to the target system. When you select batches (in Batches mode), every document with the Complete status, in each selected batch, is sent to the target system.

After you send documents to the target system, you are not be able to perform page separation on any remaining batches that these documents belong to.

This button is only visible to users with the Access EXPLORE privilege. You must select at least one document or batch before clicking this button.
