Remittance advice field extraction

An image speaks more than a thousand words. Below is an example of the three steps our OCR engine takes to automatically extract remittance advice data from documents.

Uploading file to the API

The first step is providing a picture or a PDF file to our API. Usually this is done from a mobile app, email, FTP or web application.

Image to text using OCR

As soon as a picture or PDF has been received, each page is converted to a TXT file. In this step, all the text from the document and the information from the remittance advice is extracted, but it is not yet structured.

Getting JSON output from the API

The Klippa Parser takes the TXT gained from the OCR in step 2 and converts it into structured JSON using machine learning. The JSON is then returned as output from the API. The remittance advice is now extracted.

From here the field can easily be processed into your database. Whether you are looking to simplify your record-keeping process or to verify the amount of payments, Klippa is here to help.

What is a remittance advice?

Remittance advice is a document used to verify that the payment has been made for a particular invoice. In other words, remittance advice slips are equivalent to cash register receipts. 

Often they are sent to the suppliers out of courtesy as they are not mandatory in business. The information included in a remittance advice slip is the payer’s and address, supplier’s name and address, method of payment, payment amount, invoice number, and payment date. 

They add value by verifying that the amount received is correct. As remittance advice slips come in PDFs or hard copies (paper), manually processing them consumes valuable time.

With Klippa OCR software, your organization can reduce the processing time of remittance advice slips through document automation. It is a scalable solution, which can be tailored to optimize your workflow.

Did you know that apart from remittance advices, Klippa OCR can scan other types of financial documents, such as balance sheets, P&L statements, VAT statements, or even tax statements? Contact us for more information.
