Practical Guide Reporting

Typing up figures for the monthly report? From now on, the values arrive as a finished table. This guide shows step by step how PaperOffice reads amounts, due dates, suppliers and cost centers from your invoices as fields during processing, shows amounts in the Table view and on the Timeline, and hands all values to your analysis tool as an export or via API.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about this download

Do we have to maintain data twice?

The fields come from processing: AI-DMS reads type, sender, amounts and dates, and an IDP Agent reads your own fields. You make corrections on the document, and the next export includes them.

Where does a figure in the export come from?

Each row can carry the Document ID (POFID). On the document, every value comes with its source location in the original, so you can check any figure against its source.

How does the data get into our BI tool?

As an export in XLSX, CSV or JSON, or via the REST API: documents-export returns the table, analytics/financial-summary the totals as JSON.
