The Remittance Advice skill extracts data from remittance advice notifications. A remittance advice is a letter sent by the client to the vendor to confirm that an invoice has been paid by the client. A remittance advice can also be accompanied by an invoice or a receipt.
The Remittance Advice 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.
