FAQ
- What is the credit cost ? Is it by page or by documents ?
1 credit by document (whatever the number of pages)
- How many uploaded templates already ?
It evolves everyday and we improve our algorithm to reduce the quantity as much as possible
- Rotation of the text possible ?
If you need to rotate the document you have to do that manually but even though it should not be an issue for the OCR to recognize your data
- If invoice doesn't recognize what can we do besides changing the value in the entry ?
As explained in the video, you need to adjust the invoice manually and our algorithm will learn and if after the second time it still didn’t learn then a human is creating a template
- Free credits for testing ?
On every new Saas DB you have 200 free credits
- How many are recognized with the first try ?
We have around 600 templates that are recognized at 95% after the first try but then the rest is like explained above, the AI will learn
Use of computer vision to recognize it ?
We use computer vision of google
- What engine is used and can we add ones ?
We use our odoo engine to recognize the data that google recognized and match them with the fields in odoo. If you want you can with a development add your own code to march more data with odoo fields
In the video the PDF has multiple lines while the odoo invoice has only one, we change that ?
Yes, there is an option in the settings
Is odoo able to link it with the correct PO ?
Yes, odoo is reading the name of the vendor, the total and the PO ref to see if there is a match
Hello, currenlty each time a test to get multiple lines invoice recognized it's giving me only One line (with or without OneLine checked). With or without PO proposed. Is it possible to help the OCR with a manual mapping on the pdf or other idea ?
If I add one or multiple product in the invoice, the last one will be used automatically for next OCR of this supplier :-(
Some body to help me ?
Kind Regards
What to do when the PO is not matched to the vendor bill?
Hello Damien,
Thanks for the information.
Here are some extra-tips to know :
1. If the vendor is not found in the database, Odoo will create it. It will consume 1 IAP credit for the partner auto-complete. If the balance is zero, the vendor will be created with only the name and the VAT number.
2. After each digitization, Odoo computes a score. If the user modifies the vendor bill after recognition, this score decreases. If it is too low, Odoo will use an other recognition method during the second digitization. If the score is too low again, a template request will be automatically sent.
3. To link the bill with the PO, Odoo uses the auto-complete feature. It means that the lines are copied from the PO and the user has to check if those lines match the PDF. I think there is an ongoing improvement to indicate if the total from the PO is different from the total on the PDF. If yes, a warning could be displayed.
Hope this helps :-)
CTH
