What does “missing document” mean?

“Missing document” is items (often bank) without an attached receipt after move-in. History before import usually doesn’t count.

Written by Nicki Elgaard

Missing document means Payfriend has a posting or bank transaction that should have a receipt/invoice but doesn’t have an attached document yet.

It’s a work signal — not necessarily an accounting error.

Why it matters

Without documents, bookkeeping and audit are harder. Menu badges often point at these “needs attention” cases.

How it works in Payfriend

  1. A bank item or expense exists

  2. The system looks for a matching document (amount, date, supplier)

  3. If none is found, the item is marked missing document

  4. You upload/scan a document, or match an existing one

History on move-in

Postings before move-in usually do not count toward the missing-document counter. The counter is scoped to after import so old history doesn’t look like a fire. See Moving into Payfriend.

What you should do

  1. Open the missing-document queue / item

  2. Scan or uploadScan and upload

  3. Or ask a colleague for the file

  4. Match to the bank item — Confirm bank match

  5. Book / reconcile
