Treating the entire email as a single invoice (including all email attachments)

If Treat entire email and all attachments as a single invoice is selected, attachments are treated as individual pages of a single invoice. It can be used for scenarios like these:

• When all attached image files belong to a single invoice.
• When you want to combine the images from an image generator (scanner, MFP, etc.) which only allows the creation of single-page JPG images, into a single invoice.
• When you need to use the JPG format (which is always in single pages) to be able to use compression alternatives that are not available with other image-file formats.
• When the size of a single multipage image file would be too large to handle.

Example: If an email is intended for Kofax ReadSoft Invoices and contains more than one image file, each attached image file is treated as a separate page of the invoice.

To treat the entire email as a single invoice:

Using the Kofax ReadSoft Invoices Manager or Interpret module, open or create the job that you configured to process emailed invoices using ReadSoft Collector.

In the Interpret > Source settings of the dialog that is displayed, select Data source extension as the invoice source.
Select ReadSoft Collector in the drop-down list.
Click Configure.

1. Click the Email settings tab, and select Treat entire email and all attachments as a single invoice.

2. Click OK.

Notes:

• This option does not work with XML invoices.

• If Use batch mode is selected in the job description in Kofax ReadSoft Invoices when ReadSoft Collector is used as the input source, this option produces a single invoice and batch for each email.
