### Review Inbox Items and Edit a Transaction

The Inbox displays all items currently **Under Review**. Each row shows the **Transaction Date**, **Due Date**, **Payee**, **Category**, **Source**, **Attachment**, and **Amount**. Items flagged as **Needs Attention** require action before they can be processed.

1. Select the **Under Review** tab to see all pending items.
2. Check the **Source** column for any items marked **Needs Attention**.
3. Click the attachment icon in the **Attachment** column to preview the original document.
4. Click the **pencil icon** in the **Actions** column of the item you wish to edit.
5. Review the **Essentials** panel on the right, which includes **Category**, **Vendor**, **Job**, **Amount**, **Transaction Date**, **Due Date**, **Posting Period**, **Status**, and **No.** fields when editing an item.
6. Review the **Items** section, which lists line items with their **Account**, **Description**, **Cost Code**, **Cost Type**, **Amount**, and **Billable** fields.
7. Make any necessary changes to the fields.
8. Click **Save** to apply the changes.

### Accept or Reject a Transaction and View Rejected Items

Once a transaction has been reviewed, use the **More Actions** menu to finalize the decision. Items that have been rejected are moved out of the **Under Review** tab and can be accessed separately.

1. Click the **three-dot icon** in the **Actions** column of the item.
2. Select **Accept** to approve the transaction or **Reject** to dismiss it.
3. Click the **Rejected** tab at the top of the Inbox.
4. Review any items listed there as needed.
