NDBEDP Centralized Database User Guide

Attachments

Attachments are document files (PDF, Word, Excel, JPG, etc.) that contain supporting documentation for a claim reimbursement. Receipts, invoices, and other proof of costs should be attached to the cost item to which they are related.

You can attach a separate file for each cost item or attach a multi-page PDF that includes proof for multiple costs. If it is a multi-page PDF, you will need to identify the associated page number(s) for each cost. Attachments that include ancillary information that may be helpful to the Reimbursement Manager may be added at the overall expense level.

The maximum size available for file upload for any attachment is 13 MB.

Naming PDFs

When saving your supporting documentation as a PDF, we recommend care in naming your files. It is important to name each PDF file with a unique name because of our feature that combines all the PDF files into one single document for the NDBEDP Administrator. If two or more PDF files have the same name, our feature will not be able to distinguish between them and will remove one of the duplicate named files during the process of combining the PDFs.

To avoid losing any important information in this combined PDF, we recommend that you name each PDF file with a different and descriptive name before uploading them to the costs line. This will ensure that all your files are included in the final document without any loss of data.
