SearchForAmountField

Description

Normally, ReadSoft Invoices looks at the first and last page of each multi-page invoice. If the two are similar, all of the pages are treated as invoice pages. If they differ, the first page is treated as an invoice page, and the rest are treated as appendices. You can override this behavior using two different settings: IdentifyEveryPage and SearchForAmountField.

When SearchForAmountField is enabled, and a perfect match cannot be found (that is, all of the required fields - net, VAT, VAT%, and total - are found on a single page, and the amount validation for them is correct), ReadSoft Invoices searches each page in turn for amount fields. The page that contains the most amount fields is treated as the last invoice page.

Exception:

  • If two pages are found with an equal number of amount fields, the second page is considered to be the last invoice page.

Example of potential irregular scenario:

  • If the last page has one amount field and the next-to-last page has three, for example, the next-to-last page would be selected as the last page. This is considered to be a rare scenario.

All subsequent pages are treated as appendices.

In order to use this feature, the invoice profile must contain all of these field types:

Note If SearchForAmountField is enabled, then IdentifyEveryPage is not used, even if it is enabled.
