Read different invoices - get specific values

[andnesper (Andreas Persson)]

Hello,

I need a robot that could read invoices from different customers. I need to read both the amount and VAT, the invoices will be recieved as PDF (80%) the rest as paper.

VAT and amount on the invoice will not be placed different from each invoice.

Anyone know how to solve this?

If you need to extract information from different types of invoices (and 20% are in paper form), I would suggest to use Rossum invoice capture technology. It can extract data from invoices without any template setup and can process scans as well. Developers’ edition is available here: https://rossum.ai/elis.
The API documentation is here: Rossum API Reference . It can be used together with UIPath by using HTTPRequest activity.

Hi @andnesper,

Check this post explaining how to read PDF files and taking some decision :

Reading and moving files based on matching criteria

Thank you both (@Manjuts90 and @PrankurJoshi)! Could you (or anybody else) by any chance show me how to choose the different files. Let’s say that a item in the string array “FullPath” contains .pdf. How do I choose this specific file in the loop? I prefer not to use OCR, but the Read PDF text activity. I have the same question in regards to the reading of the word documents.
