FAQ:
Q 1: Can other QuickBooks users see the documents you’ve attached?
A 1: In the Document Center, QuickBooks permissions are enforced. Only the attachments for QuickBooks items and transactions that the user has the authorization to access will be shown. If a user does not have the ability to see invoices, for example, they will not be able to see any invoice attachments.
Q 2: Can I edit an attachment’s transaction number?
A 2: No, the attached field cannot be changed. If you need to make a modification to a transaction number, you must first remove any attachments, then reconnect them when you’ve finished.
