Specify which email attachment types are accepted or ignored

While configuring Interpret jobs to receive invoices by email, you need to specify which attachment file types are acceptable as invoices or invoice attachments and which ones should be ignored:

  1. Using the ReadSoft Invoices Manager or Interpret module, open or create the job that you configured to process emailed invoices using ReadSoft Collector.
  2. In the Interpret > Source settings of the dialog box that is displayed, select Data source extension as the invoice source.
  3. Select ReadSoft Collector in the list.
  4. Click Configure.
  5. Click the File extension tab/option.
  6. To specify the most common file types in both the accepted and ignored lists, click Default.

    Optional:

    • To add specific file types to either list, type the desired extension in the appropriate box, and click .

    • To delete specific file types from either list, select the extension to remove in the appropriate list, and click .

    Both image and XML-based invoices can be received by email and processed in the same interpret job. However, if Use intelligent XML functionality on XML files is selected on the XML tab of the ReadSoft Collector job configuration dialog box and an email contains both image and XML attachments, only the XML files will be interpreted. That is, the job can handle email that contains images and email that contains XML files but not in the same email.
