The Extraction view

Use these settings to define the Extraction service.

To access this view in Admin Center:

  • Navigate to a Services node in the administration tree and click Extraction.
  • If your organization uses buyer entities, expand a buyer node in the administration tree and click Extraction.

To avoid configuration issues, multiple administrators should not edit the same service at the same time.

The settings that appear here can vary, depending on your role and which Services node you selected in the administration tree:

Document types
RESET TO CUSTOMER SETTINGS

Resets the extraction settings of the current buyer, so they match the extraction settings of the parent customer account.

This button only appears on the buyer level, if the current buyer has extraction settings that differ from parent account.

Default document type Specifies which document type to use if no type is selected when the user uploads invoices.
Only use country-specific subtypes and the XML document type

When selected, you can only use country-specific document subtypes, with one exception: you are also optionally allowed to use the XML document type on the customer level.

If you use document subtypes and edit the extraction settings on the buyer level, the document types available are limited to:

  • Document types that match the country of the buyer.

  • The XML document type.

If you select this setting and click SAVE, this setting validates your setup to make sure you are not combining generic document types with country-specific document types. It also warns you if, for example, any buyer organizations do not have a country specified.

Auto-rotate images

Automatically detects incorrect rotation of document images in all directions and corrects the image rotation. This is helpful, for example, if images are often scanned upside-down, or if your scanner can only scan images sideways.

On very rare occasions, auto-rotation can rotate images incorrectly, so you must correct the rotation during verification.

Display supplier numbers during verification Determines whether the supplier number is visible when verifying invoices.
