Digitize Vendor Bills with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
|
|
==============================================================
|
|
|
|
Encoding bills manually can be a time-consuming task. Having a solution that allows you to digitize
|
|
them and automatically import the data to your database reduces errors and saves you time.
|
|
|
|
Set up the feature
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
Go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Settings --> Bill Digitalization`, and choose whether the bills
|
|
should be processed automatically or manually.

Start digitizing your bills
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
Scan your bills and then go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Vendors --> Bills` and upload your
|
|
document. Based on your configuration, it either processes the documents automatically, or you
|
|
need to click on *Send for Digitalization* to do it manually.
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
You can also create a vendor bill through the *Documents* app or by using an email alias on your
|
|
journals.
|
|
|
|
Once the data is extracted from the PDF, you can correct it if necessary by clicking on the
|
|
respective tag (available in *Edit* mode), and selecting the right information instead.

The more bills you scan, the better the system gets at identifying the correct data. |
