When you create a parser, you pick a Document Processing Type. That choice helps DigiParser use the right extraction mode and often improves accuracy.

You set the document type in the Create your document parser step (onboarding). You enter a Parser Name, then choose a Document Processing Type from the list. You can search for a type (e.g. “invoice”, “bank”) if the list is long.

Types vary by account, but typically include:

• Custom document – DigiParser detects fields automatically. Use when you don’t have a more specific type.
• Invoice – For invoices and similar documents. Often extracts things like invoice number, date, vendor, amounts, line items.
• Purchase order – For purchase orders.
• Bank statement – For bank statements and transaction tables.
• Resume – For CVs and resumes.
• Payslip – For salary slips and pay stubs.
• Expense report – For expense reports and reimbursement forms.

Choose the type that best matches what you’re processing. If you’re unsure, Custom document is a safe default.

Each type is tuned for that kind of document. For example:

• Invoice vs Custom: Invoice is optimized for vendor, amounts, dates, line items.
• Bank statement: Better at tables and transaction-style data.

Using the wrong type can still work, but you may get less accurate or less consistent results.

The document type is set when you create the parser. To use a different type, you’d create a new parser with that type and move your workflow there. You can’t change the type of an existing parser.
