Document Understanding User Guide
This section includes specific information about the metering & charging logic for AI units, depending on the used activity, and explains the AI unit cost per page for extractors, OCR engines, classifiers, and other components. More details about AI Units can be found here and details about licensing can be found here.
- For licensing information for modern projects, check the Metering and charging logic page from the Document UnderstandingTM User Guide for Modern Experience.
- To track your AI units consumption at organization and tenant level, check the AI units consumption overview dashboard pages.
- To track AI units consumption for Document Understanding and AI Center projects, check the IxP AI Unit consumption dashboard page.

Depending on the version of the activity package you are using, there are slight differences related to AI units consumption. The consumption models are detailed in the sections that follow.
Generative prelabeling does not consume AI Units when:
-
calling a public endpoint from a session hosted on Automation Cloud
-
calling a skill deployed in Automation Cloud™ from a Document Manager session hosted on Automation Cloud
Generative prelabeling consumes AI Units when:
-
calling a public endpoint from a session hosted on Automation Suite
-
calling a skill deployed in Automation Suite from a Document Manager session hosted on Automation Cloud
