Can Incoming Invoices be processed

Hello,

I'm not well versed in formscape and had one question on its functionality. We have a requirement where suppliers send us scanned copies of invoices. Is formscape capable of reading these scanned copied and convering it into a format like csv or xml which can be used by JD Edwards to import into the system.

Are there other softwares that can acheieve this ?

Hi.

The short reply is yes.

The real reply is Formscape is not designed for this job, as you should have to specifically program each provider template to achieve this.

There are other solutions like covus or KoFax specifically designed for this job.

they make a full page ocr and have predefined expressions to search to recognise special fields.


Other case is if your providers supply you with an electronic invoice (XML) that you can input into formscape and transform into an EDI file or direclty works against the JDE tables to load the invoice.

Hi

You can process Incoming Invoices to JDE tables using SQL connection with JDE.

You have to define each field on scanned invoice using OCR burst parser, which copies the fields in the bag.
Process the data in bag using SQL connection and update the JDE tables directly.

You can read about OCR burst parser in the help files of Formscape.

Formscape has an OCR modules, since it is fax copies, users will have to do validation before it goes into the system, you can also use Kofax, Abby and other OCR software to work with Formscape.
