China

Chinese invoices have a standardized format that is supported by AP Agility. These invoices are initially classified into the InvoicesCN class, that contains special extraction logic before they are passed into the Invoices class.

You need to enable extraction support for Chinese VAT invoices before you can process these invoices.

Within the Settings > Invoice Processing > Capture Profiles > Field Settings, there are special settings for Chinese VAT invoices.

  • Invoice Code CN and Password CN exist for Chinese invoices and the InvoicesCN class only. These fields are not extracted and are not visible for documents that are not classified into the InvoicesCN class.

  • The Bill-To VAT Registration Number and the Vendor VAT Registration Number have their own entries for Chinese invoices. As a result, these fields are activated automatically for the InvoicesCN class, when the same fields are not active for the Invoices class.

In addition to this, some Chinese invoices may contain details for the Reviewer, Payer, and Drawer fields. These fields are disabled by default and there is no extraction or validation logic provided for these fields. If you want to extract and then validate these fields, you need to add your own logic.
