[OcrSupplierIdentification]

These settings are used in the [OcrSupplierIdentification] section in Eiglobal.inito specify how suppliers are identified on invoices in connection with master data:

Fieldn The fields that are used to identify the supplier for an invoice. These are the default fields:
  • Field1=vatregistrationnumber
  • Field2=taxnumber1
  • Field3=taxnumber2
  • Field4=telephonenumber
  • Field5=faxnumber
  • Field6=street
  • Field7=streetsupplement
  • Field8=pobox
  • Field9=city
  • Field10=postalcode
  • Field11=city
  • Field12=postalcode
CustomSupplierField1 and 2 Add these custom fields to Fieldn above to be able to use generic text on an invoice, unique to the supplier, to help identify the supplier.

The names displayed for these in the user interface can be changed to something more appropriate, if desired, using the translation files included with the program.

Example from the English translation file (rsienglish.xml:

...
   </TXT>
   <TXT>
       <OT>CustomSupplierField1</OT>
       <TT>Tax number 5</TT>
   </TXT>
   <TXT>
       <OT>CustomSupplierField2</OT>
       <TT>CustomSupplierField2</TT>
   </TXT>
 </Translations>

In this case, Tax number 5 is then displayed in the English user interface instead of CustomSupplierField1.

EmailAddress Add this field to Fieldn above to extract email addresses from invoices to identify the supplier.
RequiredCharactersForNameMatch Specifies the minimum number of characters that are needed to match in the name to generate a match for a supplier in master data.

Default value = 10

CheckIfSupplierIsBuyer Helps ensure that suppliers that are also buyers do not compete with other suppliers.

Valid values:

= 1 (enabled - default) = 0 (disabled)

IgnoreInitialZerosInNumberMatching When enabled, initial zeros are removed in number searches (even after letters).

Valid values:

= 1 (enabled - default)

= 0 (disabled)

 

SupplierFieldForLocationSearch This setting is used when invoices for different suppliers are very similar and identifying the invoice definition is not sufficient to identify the supplier. This search is based on the location of either of these fields:
  • SupplierNumber
  • Name1

Example: SupplierFieldForLocationSearch=SupplierNumber

MakeSecondSupplierIdentification Forces the program to use the same supplier identification as when a match is made with an invoice definition to ensure that the information on the invoices matches what is in master data.
  • = 1 - on (default)
  • = 0 - off
Note Invoices 5-7 Patch 3 or later required to use this.
