4 What is an edoc? A KFS edoc is an electronic document that represents a business transaction or a maintenance action in KFS. We use edocs to do our jobs in KFS. Transactional edocs: Budget Adjustment (BA), Disbursement Voucher (DV), or Cash Receipt (CR) Maintenance edocs: Vendor (to add a vendor), Account (to add a new account) All edocs have a similar layout with tabs that look like file folders. The number and type of tabs depends on the edoc.
