A better invoice routine

## Less typing.  
More control over the result.

For the person handling supplier bills, the job is simple: get the right invoice information into the next step. DigiParser makes that data reusable.

1.  01
    
    ### Choose your fields
    
    Start with an invoice template. Add the fields and table columns your team actually uses.
    
2.  02
    
    ### Bring invoices in
    
    Upload a batch, forward attachments, or use the API. Keep supplier layouts as they arrive.
    
3.  03
    
    ### Check what matters
    
    Review fields beside the source. Configure review stages before data moves to the next tool.
    
4.  04
    
    ### Send useful rows out
    
    Export a file or test a configured handoff. Use your existing accounting process to complete AP entry.
    

Make it your invoice parser

### Your fields. Your item columns.

A job number, a supplier SKU or a freight amount can matter as much as the invoice total. Add document fields and instructions for the information your process needs.

Product illustration: configure fields and table columns.

Beyond the invoice total

## Capture the bill.  
Keep every useful row.

Invoice OCR reads the document. Invoice parsing gives you named fields and structured tables. Choose the information needed for your AP entry or supplier record.

In the example above, **3 BOX** and **12 EA** are different units. Keeping the unit beside the quantity makes the handoff easier to check.

01

### Identify the bill

Supplier name - invoice number - invoice date - due date - PO reference - payment terms

02

### Keep the item detail

Description - SKU - quantity - unit - unit price - tax - discount - line total

03

### Capture the amounts

Currency - subtotal - freight - tax - invoice total - amount due, where shown

Extract a GL or project code if it appears on the invoice. Assigning a code that is not on the document needs your accounting rules.

Useful automation starts with a check

## Correct the data.  
Keep the review in one place.

Open the original beside the extracted fields and tables. Edit a value or table cell, save the correction, then approve or reject the document. Configure the review stages your team needs.

*   Compare the document with extracted values.
*   Correct missing or misread fields.
*   Required approvals finish before configured automatic exports run.

[Follow the review walkthrough](/docs/guides/reviews-approvals/reviewing-documents)

### PDFs & email attachments

Use digital files or supported intake.

### Scans & photos

Test readability with your actual files.

### Multi-page invoices

Check continued tables and page counts.

### Currencies & languages

Keep currency explicit; test your layouts.

From readable fields to useful files

## One invoice.  
Two connected views.

Your invoice register needs one bill total. Your item sheet needs every item line. Keep both views connected by the invoice reference, so your team can reconcile the item detail with the bill.

### The bill stays together.

Freight

$36.00

Tax

Illustrative calculation: $624 + $36 + $33 = $693. The example tax is 5% of goods plus freight; use the actual amounts and tax treatment on your supplier's invoice.

**Build this shape in your trial.**

Choose **All Fields** for an invoice record, or **All Fields and Tables (Flatten)** for fields alongside item rows. Use **Customize** to select the columns you need. With a flattened file, count the bill total once per invoice, even when it appears on several rows.

[See the export settings](/docs/guides/managing-data/exporting-data)

These files show a useful output structure, not a live extraction result or a ready-made accounting import. Match the columns to your own workbook or supported destination.

Work with the tools you already use

## The output should fit your process.

You do not need to replace your accounting system to stop copying invoice data. Choose the handoff that fits the way your team works.

Excel / CSVAccounting workflowInternal application

Your next step

### Invoice to Excel or CSV

Start with a file your AP owner can inspect. Keep the invoice reference beside every line so rows remain traceable.

1.  Choose invoice fields and item columns
2.  Review the extracted result
3.  Export Excel or CSV for your current process

Check column names, dates, decimal values and currency before an import. Your accounting process decides which rows become a bill.

What if an invoice repeats or a handoff fails?

Keep the supplier and invoice reference with the result. If a destination write times out or the same file arrives again, check the receiving system before you send it a second time. Agree who checks the destination, resolves the error and decides whether to retry. Duplicate-bill controls belong in that configured handoff.

DigiParser supplies invoice data. Your accounting process handles PO and receipt matching, GL decisions, bill creation and payment approval. A configured integration connects the two.

A useful first trial

## Bring five invoices.  
Leave with a clear answer.

Our recommended trial: use different suppliers, a multi-page file and a scan. Include one invoice with freight or tax detail. Check the actual destination result.

1.  **Can we capture the fields?**Check supplier, reference, currency, total and every required item row.
2.  **How much checking remains?**Record corrections and review time for the same sample files.
3.  **Does the next step work?**Test an export or configured write, then repeat a file to check your duplicate controls.

Invoice parser FAQ

## Questions before  
the first invoice.

Need help with a specific supplier layout or accounting destination?

[Show us your workflow](/schedule-demo)

What is an invoice parser?

An invoice parser turns invoice documents into structured fields and line items. DigiParser lets you select those fields, review the results and export them or send them through a configured connection. This supplies data for accounts payable; it does not authorize a payment.

What invoice formats can DigiParser process?

Use digital PDFs, scanned invoices, JPG or PNG images and email attachments. Test difficult scans, handwriting and foreign-language invoices with representative files in your trial. Document quality and field instructions affect the result.

Can DigiParser extract invoice line items?

Yes. Choose table columns such as description, SKU, quantity, unit, unit price, tax and line total. Add invoice-level fields for the supplier, invoice number, dates, currency, freight and totals.

Do I need a separate template for every supplier?

No. Start with the invoice template and select the fields you need. One parser can handle different supplier layouts for the same target fields. Refine instructions and test long tables or ambiguous labels before routine use.

Can I review the data before exporting?

Yes. Compare the source document with the extracted values and correct them. Configure review stages for the files that need a check. Test review and delivery rules together before enabling automatic handoff.

Can I process invoices in bulk or from email?

Yes. Upload a batch, forward attachments to your DigiParser inbox, or use supported API and upload-page intake. Track file status in the processing queue. Email forwarding rules and automated delivery need configuration.

Can I export invoice data to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Download Excel, CSV, JSON or XML results. Choose fields and table columns that fit the receiving process. Check invoice references, currency, dates and numeric values before importing the file elsewhere.

Can I connect to QuickBooks, Xero or Google Sheets?

You can use supported connections or automation platforms. Confirm the destination action, field mapping, supplier identifiers, permissions and repeat-file behavior for your workflow. An integration label alone does not establish a working AP bill write.

Does DigiParser handle PO matching and payment approvals?

DigiParser extracts invoice data and supports document review. Matching invoices to purchase orders or receipts, choosing GL codes and authorizing payment require your configured accounting rules and downstream system. Document review is not payment authorization.

How much does the invoice parser cost?

Starter is $69 per month on monthly billing for 500 pages per month, or $588 per year ($49 per month equivalent). A multi-page invoice uses multiple page credits; extra processing options can use more. Try DigiParser free for 7 days with no credit card required.

Can I use the invoice parser API?

Yes. Use the REST API to submit files, check processing status and retrieve structured results. Webhooks can deliver results to your application. Your integration handles lookups, destination writes and retry behavior.
