Issues resolved

ID Issue Solution
260577 The title (GST) of the invoice definition could not be extracted in the Optimize module. Correct language selection is managed to prevent further interpretation.
259160 The PDF could not be correctly extracted (the orientation was changed, recognition failed, and the Verify module became unresponsive). The image is not reprocessed again.
257013 The XML variant definition could not be created when the supplier information was found in the master data. A new XML variant condition is added to generate a new definition from the description.

Issue resolved

ID Issue Solution
261276 When XSLT was run while loading an external document, the AllowDocumentFunction constraint was violated. To enable the AllowDocumentFunction property on the MSXML 6.0 object, a new setting, Enable AllowDocumentFunction for XSLT, is added to the Transfer job description under Output Format.

Issues resolved

ID Issue Solution
257162 The PDF file could not be processed in the Interpret module. Several optimizations are performed to handle the PDF file processing.
254371 The text was right aligned in line items for non-Arabic language. Adjusted the text alignment within line items to conform with the language requirements.
254362 The second keyword was not detected in the "keywords.txt" file. Changed the iteration logic to consider all the lines.
252620 The Taiwan invoice date was extracted incorrectly. The Omnipage SDK flags are enabled to improve the extraction.
251196 The database upgrade and maintenance failed because of the large number of learned documents. Improved the maintenance for managing definitions with a large number of learning documents.
249425 The date format produced in the output file after transfer was incorrect. For example, when the DisplayDate=YYYYMMDD, the output date was DDMMYYYY, and when the DisplayDate=DDMMYYYY, the output date was YYYYMMDD. The format of the invoice date is changed based on the display date.
248874 When the original email was sent with OFD attachments, the feedback email sent only the XML file without the email body attachments.

A property is added to maintain the original attachment.

Note: This fix also applies to ReadSoft Collector, and it is compatible with Collector 6.5.0 Fix Pack 23 and higher.

245973 The PDF image was blank after extraction with the Omnipage. OmniPage is upgraded to version 22.1.0.4.
245780 After the Interpret stage, the first page was identical to the second page, and the original first page disappeared. OmniPage is upgraded to version 22.1.0.4.
125888 There was an incorrect VAT rate warning for the first invoice. If the field is inactive, the warning message does not appear.

Features added

245444: Keyword detection for numbers is now supported when the format types "Numeric" and "Special characters" are selected for the single item field profile.

58386: Invoices are now supported in the Arabic language.

To create an Arabic profile, do the following (reference change files are available in the patch build location folder):

  • Update the Countrycodes.txt file in the user's installation folder with a new entry, ARA=Arabic.
  • Update the EHCharset.ini file in the GlobalPath folder with a new character set, [Arabic].
  • Update the following entries in the eiglobal.ini file available in the GlobalPath folder:
    • OCRExtractionTimeOut=12000 under the [Options] section.
    • CurrencyXX=SAR,SAR,SR; Saudi Arabia Currency - Saudi Riyal, under the [InvoiceCurrency] section.

      Note: XX is the next currency sequence in the eiglobal.ini file.

    • The [FullMonthName] section with Arabic months sequentially.
    • The [ThreeCharMonthName] section with Arabic months sequentially.
  • Copy the Arabic country profile (ARA) available in the patch build installer to the Country Profiles folder under the GlobalPath folder.

Issues resolved

ID Issue Solution
247113 The maintenance plan did not run in silent mode when the user authorization was enabled. An extra condition is added to run the maintenance plan without the user authorization.
246345 A few Chinese characters could not be interpreted for some PDF files. While processing the invoices in Asian languages, the second-time extraction is done only on the image layer.
246057 The Chinese currency sign was incorrectly recognized as number 1. While processing the invoices in Asian languages, the second-time extraction is done only on the image layer.
245939 The Taiwan invoice date could not be captured automatically. The recognized character is added as a delimiter and handled the date mapping for Taiwan invoices.
244966 For the OFD invoices, the UDVs were not created for the fields marked as "Enable sorting by this field." The UDVs are now created for all the invoice formats (PDF, OFD, XML, and more) when the fields are marked as "Enable sorting by this field."
244963 Incorrect information was extracted from the QR code. The QR code is handled as per the specification, and the correct information can be extracted now.
231621 The rolling bar returned to the top after verifying invoices in the Verify module. A proper index is set to maintain the focus on the selected row in the grid control.
230511 Some content was missing from the invoice after interpretation. OmniPage is upgraded to version 22.1.0.3.
223838 Some content overlapped after interpreting the PDF, specifically in the "Billing address" and the "Consignee" sections. OmniPage is upgraded to version 22.1.0.3.
166107 The OCR SDK "1" (font in italic) was interpreted as "7" on the line-item level. OmniPage is upgraded to version 22.1.0.3.

Features added

225858: Use original PDF instead of intermediate file for processing and extracting (OCR).

A new flag value, 2, is added under the flag PDFTextInput, which is now the default flag value.

Flag values:

  • 0 = A bitmap image is used to interpret the invoices.
  • 1 = The text and image layer of the source PDF file is used to interpret the invoices.
  • 2 (default) = The source PDF file is used to interpret the invoices.

96514: A new flag, DoVatTableRowTotalValidation, is added under the [Business_logic_validation] section in eigolbalextra.ini to perform the VAT table row validations.

Flag values:

  • 0 (default) = No validations are performed on the VAT table.
  • 1 = Validations are performed on the VAT table.

Note: From this fix pack onwards, ReadSoft Invoices supports Windows 11 Enterprise, version 22H2.
