Files Steerd creates for you
The documents that arrive here on their own, why they cannot be edited or deleted, and what that protects.
Some files appear in the store without anybody uploading them:
- Invoice PDFs, when an invoice is issued
- Timesheets, when one was attached to an invoice
- e-Invoice files (XRechnung, ZUGFeRD), when one was produced
- Travel reports, when a trip is approved and sealed
They are marked, and they are locked
A generated document cannot be renamed, re-categorized, or deleted like an ordinary upload. The Edit action is not offered on them.
Why
Because each one is the evidence for a document you issued.
An invoice PDF is not a copy of the invoice, it is the invoice as your client received it. A sealed travel report is the approved trip, at the values that were approved. Letting either be renamed, replaced or quietly removed would make the record it exists to be worth nothing.
This is the same reasoning that makes an issued invoice uneditable and a sealed trip fixed. The file is the last link in that chain, and it would be strange to protect the record and leave the document loose.
Getting rid of one
You do not delete the file, you deal with the document. Cancel the invoice with a correction, or revert the trip approval, and the record follows.
They still count toward storage
They are real files in your quota. On a busy month of invoicing that adds up, which is the honest reason to know they are there.
