Functionality check

With the configuration completed, user can now send documents for signing from within MYOB Acumatica. This can be initiated from any module (Financials, CRM, Distribution) where files are handled. We have used Projects tab below to showcase the functionality.

1. Go to Projects screen
   

   

2. Select any project record with Files at the top right. If the project doesn’t have an attached file, then upload a file
   

   

   
   

   

3. Clicking edit in the above window should navigate the user to File Maintenance screen, and you should see the Esign button
   

   

4. Click on the ESIGN option to prepare the envelope. In this dialog, specify subject and message and specify the recipients to sign the document and the ones to receive copy. You can manually add the recipients or use the contact selector to pick a contact from MYOB Acumatica. If the underlying entity had a contact specified (e.g., Contact in Opportunity), that contact will be loaded automatically. Click on Send to get the document over to Adobe Sign for signing.
   

   

5. This will pop-up a provider screen to place tags (e.g., name, company info, signature) and to send it for signing. Once the document is sent for signing, the status will be updated in the File Maintenance window.
   
   
   You should also get a confirmation email
   

6. Now the receiver needs to follow simple steps to digitally sign the document.

   • As a receiver, click on Review and sign
     

     

     
     Enter the signature and click on Click to Sign
     

     

     
     

     

     
     

     Both the sender and receiver will receive a confirmation email once the document signing is completed.

     
     

     

7. The status of the record should change to Signed in File Maintenance screen and the file should also be uploaded to the Project in MYOB Acumatica shortly.
