# Variants data set

> Column reference for the Variants data set, which ABBYY FlexiCapture uses to detect the issuing company on purchase orders and check it against a database.

The **Variants** data set contains information about ordering companies. This data set is used for detecting the issuing company and checking extracted issuer information against a database.

<Note>
  Information from external databases can be used to facilitate the detection of company details on purchase orders. Additionally, [field training](/flexi-capture/invoice-reader/ir-operator-training) becomes available if external databases are used. If no external databases are used, ABBYY FlexiCapture will use its built-in neural networks to detect company details.
