Which documents are checked:

  • Only documents classified as invoices

  • E-invoices are currently excluded from the check

What is checked:

We have divided the verification into three areas: recipient, supplier, and invoice data.

Not every field is checked in the same way. There are the following types of checks:

  • Comparison: Verifies whether the data matches existing values.

  • Exact check: The value must match exactly (1:1).

  • Approximate check: The value must be similar to the existing value.

  • Completeness: Verifies whether a value is provided, but not whether it is correct.


Recipient

  • Recipient name (approximate check)

  • Recipient address

    • Street (exact check)

    • P.O. box (exact check)

    • House number (exact check)

    • Postal code (exact check)

    • City (exact check)

    • Country (approximate check)

Supplier

  • Supplier name (completeness)

  • VAT ID number (exact check)

  • Tax number (exact check)

  • Supplier address

    • Street (exact check)

    • P.O. box (exact check)

    • House number (exact check)

    • Postal code (exact check)

    • City (exact check)

    • Country (approximate check)

Invoice data

  • Invoice number (completeness)

  • Invoice date (completeness)

  • Delivery date (completeness)

  • Tax amount (completeness)

  • Tax rate (completeness)

How will I be notified about the check?

There are several places where you can see the current status of the verification:

  • Tables: In the tables (Inbox, Approval, and Archive), failed checks are marked with a white cross in a red circle.

  • During data entry: You can open the detailed view under Show details.

The verification takes place during the invoice processing.

Setup
Under Settings > My Company, you can enter your company name and company address in the Address section. These details are compared with the extracted recipient data.
