Scan purchase invoices

The document reader processes embedded e-invoice data or the text in a PDF, without external AI or OCR. You enter the details of a scan without text manually.

  1. Open the Peppol inbox and drag one or more PDFs into the upload area, or choose files. The maximum size is 10 MB per file.
  2. Scanning is unlimited on every plan.
  3. Open the document for review. The PDF is on the left; the supplier, invoice number, dates, amounts, VAT, IBAN and structured payment reference are on the right.
  4. Green means found and checked. Orange means uncertain, invalid or not found. Compare green fields with the PDF too, and correct them where needed. Check that the amount excluding VAT plus VAT equals the amount including VAT.
  5. Click Approve. Only then does the upload count as a purchase invoice in totals, exports and the API. Processed does not mean Approved either.
  6. A supplier is matched by VAT number or created in Contacts. Your corrections are remembered for each supplier for future invoices.
