The multimedia plug-in is a versatile product. You can link files in divergent forms of osFinancials.
Examples are debtor, creditor, stock items and document groups. You can link a image to stock items or debtors but also link signed and scanned documents to debtors.
If you also have the email pro email send will also be linked to the document that was send and the debtor. This makes finding that email to the client with great ease.
