Optimize complex line item tables
Optimization is often required the first time a new invoice with sub-headers enters the system. Use the procedure described below.
If a line item table appears on multiple invoice pages, the table and any line item variations can be optimized on any page where they are found.
Kofax ReadSoft Invoices can capture data from complex line item tables containing sub-headers, such as those typically found on purchase order invoices that cover two or more purchase orders.
- Define the line item template as usual, and include the sub-header as one of the line item fields.
-
In the
Line item learning dialog, right-click the
sub-header field and select
Set as sub-header. (Tip: See
Examples of sub-headers if you need help
finding an appropriate sub-header.)
- Sub-headers are not captured (interpreted). They are only reference points.
- You can also define complex line item tables in Verify. To do this, PossibleSubHeader must be set to 1 in Eiglobalextra.ini. However, note that when using Verify this way, there cannot be other fields on the same row as the sub-header. See INI file help for more information.
- The German country profile can also automatically capture complex line item tables without optimization or assistance from the Verify operator. To make use of this feature, specify the DCL file, LineItem.DCL, in the [DCL] section of Eiglobalextra.ini. See INI file help for more information.
