Скачать или смотреть Automate Invoice Data Extraction Using Azure AI

Using a Microsoft Office 365 subscription, in conjunction with Azure, you can now process accounts payable invoices that are received to a company’s shared AP email inbox. This includes OCR functionality to extract the key information from the invoice and save it to a SharePoint library. This solution involves several Microsoft technologies including some that you are familiar with, and new functionality that has recently been released.

To demonstrate this, we have put together a brief video that shows each step in the process and how it works. The video shows how easy it is to upload an invoice image to the Azure AI Document Intelligence platform using Power Automate and how quickly and accurately the OCR engine extracts key data such as invoice number, date, vendor information, and line items. One of the key features of the invoice model for data extraction is the ability to handle different types of invoices, regardless of their layout or format. Whether it's a scanned image, a PDF document, or a photograph taken with a smartphone, Azure AI OCR can reliably extract key data points, even from low-quality or hand-written invoices.

After we have got the information from OCR the next step is storing it somewhere that resources in Accounts Payable can interact with it. The logical home is a SharePoint document library. It can securely store the source vendor invoice as well as any of the extracted data and provide a foundation for further automation.

DynamicPoint is drastically different than other AP invoice automation solutions in that we are entirely built within Office 365. So, this new Azure AI Document Intelligence functionality is great news for us! Many of our competitors have spent much of their time and resources building OCR tools that are not nearly as powerful as Azure AI. And not to mention they charge a lot for this functionality when most of our customers already own it.
