This feature uses artificial intelligence to recognise and interpret the content of documents. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>1. How it works<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>From the relevant module (e.g.: Supplier invoices), use the automatic entry action<\/li>\n<li>Upload the PDF document to analyse<\/li>\n<li>Kafinea automatically extracts the information: supplier, date, amounts, line items, references<\/li>\n<li>The form fields are pre-filled with the extracted data<\/li>\n<li>Check and correct if necessary, then save<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote class=\"bq-important\">\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Automatic entry is a data-entry assistance tool. Extracted data must always be checked by the user before saving, especially amounts and references. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<hr>\n<h2>2. Supported documents<\/h2>\n<p>Automatic entry mainly works with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Supplier invoices<\/strong>: extraction of the supplier, dates, amounts excl.\/incl. tax, line items<\/li>\n<li><strong>Purchase orders<\/strong>: extraction of references and product lines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The quality of extraction depends on the readability of the PDF and the structure of the document.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>3. Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Does automatic entry work with scanned PDFs?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes, provided the document is sufficiently readable. Digitally generated (non-scanned) PDFs yield better results. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What should I do if the extraction is incorrect?<\/strong><br \/>\nManually correct the misinterpreted fields before saving. The tool improves over time by learning the formats of your usual suppliers. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Is this feature available for all modules?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, it is mainly available for purchasing modules (supplier invoices, purchase orders). Availability depends on your instance configuration. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Related References \ud83d\udd17<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/fr\/documentation\/achats\/comment-enregistrer-une-facture-fournisseur\/\">How to record a supplier invoice<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/fr\/documentation\/gestion-documentaire\/la-gestion-electronique-des-documents\/\">Electronic document management<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/artificial-intelligence\/ai-chat\/\">The AI chat<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/artificial-intelligence\/the-ai-text-assistant\/\">The AI text assistant<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/artificial-intelligence\/ai-workflows\/\">AI workflows<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kafinea.com\/en\/documentation\/artificial-intelligence\/connect-an-external-ai-mcp\/\">Connect an external AI (MCP)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction Automatic entry from a PDF, also known as OCR (optical character recognition), automatically extracts information from a PDF document (supplier invoice, purchase order, etc.) to pre-fill a record in Kafinea.
