Invoice Header Locator

Invoice Header Locator icon This locator extracts the most commonly used data from an invoice. Because this locator does not depend on layout, you do not need to classify invoices by supplier and design different extraction schemes for each supplier.

The Invoice Header Locator locates the following header data:

  • Invoice Number

  • Invoice Date

  • Order Number

  • Order Date

The locator also finds the following amount data:

  • Invoice Total Amount

  • Net Value

  • Tax Amount

  • Tax Rate

  • Currency

  • OrderNumbers (Format Locator)

  • Amounts (Format Locator)
