How to Extract Purchase Orders and Invoice Data Easily in 5 Minutes

In Hong Kong, a financial hub with frequent trade with mainland China and the Asia-Pacific region, the efficient extraction of purchase order (PO) and invoice data is crucial. With intelligent document automation, finance teams can quickly process document data without complex setup, in just six steps!

6 Steps to Complete Purchase Order and Invoice Extraction

1.Select a Pre-trained Model

Choose a model that matches your document type:
  • Click on the model card to add it to your account.
  • For example, if you select the Invoice Model, you can assign a Workspace name to organise and distinguish different workflows.

2. Customise Extraction Fields

Fine-tune the model to meet your specific business needs:
  • Add or remove Label fields (e.g., invoice date, supplier name) or Line Item fields (e.g., product descriptions, amounts).
  • No coding skills are needed—the drag-and-drop interface makes configuration quick and effortless.

3. Upload Documents

Upload your scanned or electronic PDF files:
  • Simply drag and drop your invoices or purchase orders into the system.
  • The model will automatically detect and process the document content, including complex files with mixed languages (e.g., Chinese and English) or multilingual content.

4. Review and Correct Data

Once the extraction is complete, review the results in an easy-to-use proofreading interface:
  • Any discrepancies, such as mismatched amounts, will be highlighted for you to correct.
  • You can manually adjust the extracted data to ensure accuracy and completeness.

5. One-Click Export to Excel

Once the data is verified, it can be immediately exported as a structured Excel file for further organisation and analysis.

6. Import into ERP System

Upload the extracted data to your ERP system (e.g., SAP, NetSuite) for seamless integration with your business systems, enhancing the efficiency of subsequent operations.
