Specifying field activation

Most fields (on an invoice) are active by default. However, you can manually adjust field activation for all fields except image identifiers. You can do this on the field profile level and the field definition level:

ClosedExample of using an optional field

You may want to extract a single item field if it is found on the invoices, but not care if it is missing on invoices from specific suppliers. Select Optional for the field in Invoice Optimize when you learn the invoices for those suppliers. Do not select Optional in the field profile.

The field will be extracted on all invoices, except that it if is not found on invoices from those specific suppliers, the field status will be set to Complete.

ClosedExample of using an inactive field

You may want to extract a certain single item field only on the invoices from one supplier. Select Inactive in the field profile for this field. When you learn the invoice for the supplier in Invoice Optimize, deselect Inactive for the field.

The field will only be used on invoices from that supplier.

 

To specify the activation for a field profile in the Invoice Manager module (see also Deactivating a field profile):

  1. Open an invoice profile and then open a field profile.

  2. Select the Options settings.

  3. Select Optional or Inactive or both of them in the Activation settings.

To specify the activation for a field definition in the Invoice Optimize module:

  1. Start an Optimize session.

  2. Select the field you want to adjust in the Data objects list in the Learning dialog.

  3. Adjust the Optional and/or Inactive settings in the Field learning dialog.

To specify the activation for a line item field in the Invoice Optimize module:

  1. Start an Optimize session.

  2. Select the line item table in the Data objects list in the Learning dialog.

  3. Right-click the cell containing the line item field you want to adjust and select Properties.

  4. Adjust the Must exist setting in the Line item field definition dialog.
