The Invoice JP skill extracts data from Japanese invoices (請求書 / seikyusho) — vendor, customer, line items, consumption tax, and totals. Invoice JP is the only Invoice Document skill that is not part of the Invoice Processing or Invoice Classifier skills. To process Japanese invoices alongside other regions, configure your own Invoice Classifier or Invoice Processing skill. The Invoice JP skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a limited set of documents and is designed to help you quickly get started with processing Japanese invoices. For production use, you may need to uptrain the skill with your own document samples.

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

To fill in a field with its calculated value, click the suggested value button in the value region of the field and select one of the suggestions from the drop-down list. When you update a copy of this skill to a derived skill, the rules will also be updated:
  • Some of the rules will get new versions. The outdated versions will receive numbered postfixes (for example, Check item amount 1). Review these rules and remove any unnecessary versions from the derived skill.
  • If you remove outdated Tax Rate X, Tax Amount X, and Net Amount X fields, the rules that checked them will become unnecessary. Remove those rules from the derived skill.

Parameters

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