ABBYY Vantage offers a set of built-in skills designed for processing purchase orders. A purchase order is a document sent by a buyer to a supplier that lists the goods or services that the buyer wants to purchase. A purchase order typically contains the following information:
  • A list of goods or services purchased
  • The total amount payable for the goods or services
  • The number and date of the purchase order
  • The expected date of delivery
As information provided on purchase orders varies from region to region, each region requires its own purchase order skills, with region-specific data fields and validation rules.
