Purchase Orders - document type

Overview

A Purchase Order is a commercial document and first official offer issued by a buyer to a seller, indicating types, quantities, and agreed prices for products or services. It is used to control the purchasing of products and services from external suppliers.

This Document Understanding^TM skill can extract commonly occurring data points from various layouts of Purchase Orders (up to 18 fields plus the table of contents).

Particularities

The model automatically detects data such as:

Purchase Order Number, Date, Client Name, Client Address, Vendor Name, Vendor Address, Shipping Name, Shipping Address,
Payment Terms, Delivery by Date,
Net Amount, Tax Amount, Total Amount.

Extracted fields

Note: If you are using using public endpoints, such as https://du.uipath.com/ie/invoices, all fields are available. However, if you are using custom-trained extractors, the availability of extracted fields is dependant on the version you are currently using.

You can also check the list of fields and types on any endpoint in the /info/model object. To access this, simply add /info/model to any endpoint, like so: https://du.uipath.com/ie/invoices/info/model. For an enhanced reading experience of the fields list, it's recommended to install a JSON viewer extension in your browser.
