Multi-page invoices: Overview

The system can decide whether an invoice has appendices or not, by comparing the appearance of the first page and the last page.

Multi-page invoices without appendices

By default, the system only extracts single item fields on the first page and the last page of the invoice; however, you can use the Invoice Optimize module to optimize fields on any page.

Multi-page invoices with appendices

For a multi-page invoice with appendices, only the first page of the invoice is extracted. The system treats all the rest of the pages as appendix pages.

In the Invoice Verify module, the operator can select the actual last invoice page. The system can then extract fields on all the invoice pages with the same result as described above in Multi-page invoices without appendices.

To process multi-page invoices

In the invoice profile, you specify whether each single item field profile can occur on the first page, the last page, or either first or last page.
In order to distinguish between invoices, you must do one or more of the following:
- When preparing the invoices to be scanned, insert a blank sheet of paper between all invoices. When specifying how documents are separated, select Make a new document after each blank page.
- Select Require similarity between pages in same document when specifying how documents are separated.
- Use classifiers to identify documents, and select Use page classifiers to find document separations when specifying how documents are separated.
- Separate the documents manually in Inspect.

Using the Invoice Verify module you can view all the invoice and appendix pages. You can mark any page as the last invoice page. If a field occurs on a page from which the system does not extract data, you can type the value while verifying the invoice.

In the output, you can get all the pages of a multi-page invoice in one file.
