  3. In the pop-up, enter the Receipt Number link in the Receipt field.
  4. Select the Search button.
  5. Select on the Receipt link.

The Existing Receipt is now attached to the manual Receipt.

Mark the ERA as Manually Posted

  1. On the ERA File Dashboard, select the Edit link.
  2. From the File Status dropdown, choose Posted Manually (PM) .
  3. Enter a Note to document why this was done. (Optional)
  4. Select Save [F2].
