The Invoice Capture Queue is available when licensed for the WorkPlace Invoice Capture solution to check the status of documents in the queue, add invoices to the queue, and synchronize with the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) service.

Documents Remaining

Once Invoice Capture has been provisioned for the environment, the number of documents remaining and available for the licensed plan will be displayed.  When an environment is initially provisioned, a temporary plan will be assigned and display a small number of test documents available.  Once a plan is purchased, contact the Paramount support team and provide the Company Name, Group ID and Workflow ID to have your plan activated.  Once activated, this value will be updated.

Date Created

The date that the Invoice was added to the Invoice Capture Queue.

Document ID

A unique numeric identifier assigned to each Invoice captured by the OCR service for reference purposes.

Status

The Status of the Invoice transaction will be displayed as one of the following options;

New:  The initial status for any document added or sent to the OCR Service.

Pre-processing:  The OCR service has begun processing the document.

Indexing:  The file is being indexed by the OCR service.

Rejected:  Errors were encountered by the OCR Service that require attention.  The document will be available to open in the document mapping interface.

Output:  The invoice is being processed from the OCR service to WorkPlace.

Exported:  The document has been exported from the OCR Service and available for corrections on the Invoice Capture page.  

Archived:  The Invoice has been successfully processed.

Action

The option to 'Make Corrections' will be displayed as a hyperlink depending on the Status of the invoice and if an action is permitted.  

When an Invoice is in a status of 'Rejected', clicking this link will navigate to the OCR service to provide additional information within the document mapping interface.  Once the required information is provided, the invoice will be able to be processed and the OCR service will retain the information for the next time an invoice is received from the vendor.

Invoices with a status of 'Exported' have been successfully integrated to WorkPlace but require additional information before a Check Request or Invoice Match transaction can be created.  Clicking the 'Make Corrections' Action will open the Invoice Capture page to update the transaction details.

Files

As indicated by the 'Drop Files Here' watermark, this section of the page will allow one or more files to be dropped onto the page and uploaded to the Invoice Capture Queue.  If errors are encountered, they will be displayed in a pop up with a list of 'Rejected Files' that could not be uploaded.  Files that have been successfully uploaded will be added to the Invoice Capture Queue with a New status and 'WorkPlace Web Upload' Source value.
