    Flow example.

Note

Receipt values are returned as strings. To manipulate them as numbers, you can use the float or int conversion functions.

Congratulations! You've created a flow that uses the AI Builder receipt processing model. Select Save on the top right, and then select Test to try out your flow.

Page range

For large documents, it's possible to specify the page range to process.

Page range.

You can enter a page value or page range in the Pages parameter. Example: 1 or 3-5.

Note

If you have a large document with only one receipt, we strongly recommend to use the Pages parameter to aim at your receipt, and therefore reduce the cost of model prediction and increase performance. However, note that only the data of the first receipt within the page range will be returned and that multi-page receipts are not supported.

Example: A document contains a first receipt in page 2 and a second receipt that spans overs page 3 and 4:

  • If you enter value 2, it will return the data of the first receipt
  • If you enter value 3-4, it will only return the data of the first page of the second receipt
  • If you enter value 2-4, it will only return data of the first receipt, not the data of the second receipt
