Reading Purchase Invoices

With the Read Purchase Invoices operation, PDF files and E-invoices in Finvoice format are read into the application. For invoices read as PDF files, no data will be identified. Thus, after reading such an invoice, the user has to manually add all the information for the invoice. For an E-invoice, the invoice data is read for the Create Purchase Invoices function. Also, the paying company and the supplier company are identified, if the identification data saved in the application agrees with the data from the E-invoice materials.

The Read Purchase Invoices function can also be timed. Typically, the reading of E-invoices is set to happen just after the application that retrieves the invoices, for example, Basware Banking, has done its part. Electronic invoices are saved with the Incomplete status, and they can be saved manually or bundle saved (for more information, see Bundle Saving of Purchase Invoices). Electronic invoices can also be read manually with the function Reading Purchase Invoices.

A PDF image of the invoice is usually also received as an attachment to E-invoices downloaded from an operator. Using Finance, several E-invoice attachments can also be downloaded from the Basware Business Transactions service. These can then be read into the application and processed as purchase invoice attachments.
