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.

Available Purchase Order Skills

ABBYY Vantage includes the following built-in purchase order skills:

Suppliers Data Catalog

For more information about data catalogs and how to add custom data to a data catalog, see the Skills Designer documentation.

Neural Network Detection

If you are not using data catalogs, the Buyer/Name, Supplier/Name, Supplier/Address, Buyer/Address, Buyer/Tax ID, and Supplier/Tax ID fields will be detected and captured using neural networks. If you want to select a specific record from your database, use data catalogs. For more information about the company detection, see the Advanced Designer documentation.
