Post-processing methods ### Choose the method that fits your team Start with simple transformations, then use lookup tables or custom rules as needed. Data Transformations Use built-in actions to clean and format values automatically. * Remove currency symbols * Convert text to numbers * Normalize date formats Lookup Tables Match extracted values with your reference data before export. * Map vendor names to vendor IDs * Standardize location or category values * Apply consistent internal codes Custom Code Use JavaScript rules for advanced transformations your team needs. * Build custom field logic * Create conditional output values * Handle complex edge cases Practical examples ### Where teams use it most AP team month-end close Invoices from different vendors arrive in mixed formats. Post processing standardizes date and amount fields before export. Vendor mapping to ERP IDs Supplier names from documents are matched with your vendor master so exports always carry the correct internal ID. Ops reporting consistency Teams create consistent calculated fields for reports so dashboards stay clean and comparable every week. Operational behavior ### When and how it runs Post processing runs right after extraction and before every export or integration push. The transformed output is what your downstream tools receive, so teams don't need to clean values again in spreadsheets. Once configured, it runs automatically for every processed document without extra manual steps. Team impact ### Cut weekly cleanup work for finance teams Weekly operations effort Manual cleanup vs automated post processing Accounts team example Manual cleanup timeCleanup after automationFiles reviewed per week14 hrs/week5 hrs/weekHigher weekly throughput Teams save cleanup time and review more documents each week because exports are cleaner by default. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is post processing in DigiParser?

No. Once set up, post processing runs automatically for every matching document. ### Can I map supplier names to internal IDs? Yes. Use lookup tables to match extracted values like supplier names to your internal IDs. ### Can I use custom logic for complex rules? Yes. DigiParser supports custom code so your team can apply advanced transformations when needed. ## Set up advanced post processing quickly Clean, map, and standardize document data automatically before it reaches your systems.
