Processing Recognized Documents

Whether you have uploaded the documents using the RiseDoc app or through the system, those recognized documents have to be processed in the same way.
There are different situations that may occur when processing a document.

Recognizing All the Fields in Documents

This is when the document is clear and the key fields are compatible with the attributes in the system.
The system highlights where it took the information from.

Recognizing Some of the Fields in Documents

This is when only a few fields have not been recognized and the user has to manually enter the information. For example: in the screenshot above the supplier was not recognized correctly. The user can either enter the information manually or use the linking tool to indicate where the correct information is.

Indicating Where Correct Fields Are

At times, it is possible for the recognition to indicate incorrect fields. However, the user can link the field to the attributes in the system manually.
  1. Select the field that is incorrectly link.
  2. Click the drop-down list icon and select Link manually. At the bottom section of the screen, you will see some fields that will be filled automatically once you indicate where in the document it can be found. Here you will be able to check whether the selected information is correct.
  3. Click the correct field in the invoice in order to select it. The red square will move to the selected field and will fill in the attributes at the bottom. If the red box does not move, then the field will not be recognizable and you will have to enter the information manually.

Generating Supplier Invoices

Once you are sure that all fields have been linked, you can finalize the document.
