An unidentified document has usually passed Interpret, where partial data capture was performed. The document definition is partly learned automatically.

In Verify, you can handle such documents in several different ways. The standard way of handling unidentified documents is to learn them in Optimize.

An alternative way to handle unidentified documents is to type their data manually. Manual entry is useful in dealing with (for example):

• Individual documents from a one-time sender. In such cases the effort of learning the document definition would be wasted. (See also: New and one-time suppliers.)
• Torn or damaged documents, if they have passed Interpret. (If a document has not passed Interpret, it still has Scanned status. In that case, see Processing a torn or damaged document.)
