Skip to main content
The Invoice skill extracts data from invoices across approximately 30 countries (mostly European) — including vendor, customer, line items, taxes, and totals — with built-in support for 22 languages. The Invoice skill is a production skill. It has been fully trained on a large document set and provides high accuracy of data identification and extraction. The skill is ready to be used in production and does not require further training on your specific documents. Accuracy and straight-through processing (STP) rates can be further optimized in production through continuous learning from human-in-the-loop feedback.

Countries and Languages

By default, the Invoice skill is enabled for all languages that are listed above. You can disable any languages that are not your documents. This might improve both document processing speed and quality.

Older versions of this skill extracted the tax information into fields named Tax Rate X, Tax Amount X, and Net Amount X. In Vantage 2.4 and later, these fields are grouped into a repeating group called Tax Rates. If you are updating a copy of a built-in skill, check that the new Tax Rates group works for you. If you are satisfied with the results, remove the individual fields used in the older version. If not, create new fields to suit your processing scenario.

Key Fields

  • Vendor/Name
  • Invoice Date
  • Invoice Number
  • Total
  • Currency

Validation Rules

When you update a copy of this skill to a derived skill, the rules will also be updated. Some rules will get new versions with numbered postfixes. Review these rules and remove any unnecessary versions from the derived skill. To fill in a field with its calculated value, click the suggested value button and select one of the suggestions from the drop-down list.

Parameters

The Invoice skills have default skill parameters that refer to data catalogs used for Vendor, Business Unit, and Purchase Order lookup. You can change the values of these parameters in Vantage or Advanced Designer to modify the field extraction process. For more information, see Skill parameters.
