OCR - Optical Character Recognition Service - Invoice Automation for Scanned Documents

 Updates to Dynamics 365 Finance 2022 release wave 2 include general availability of vendor invoice OCR (optical character recognition). This will automate the reading and recognition of vendor invoices by providing OCR capabilities to complete the full end-to-end automation of accounts payable.


I was expecting this functionality for a while. I've not set it up or tried before but we were using some third parties to manage this functionality. 


According to the documentation, we will be able to


  • Upload vendor invoices to pending invoices as header and lines and related attachments. 
  • Will be managed through data entities.
  • Vendor pending invoice header entity will be change for to add attachment and new entity to be added for attachments.
  • Also for to manage the process UI forms will be added.


According to my previous experiences, there is still need to cover the processes below:

  • Use vendor invoice journal for the processes that do not use a PO or a pending invoice.
  • Use vendor approval journal process.
  • A little bit more information/documentation on the OCR process on how VAT(TAX), PO, company, product receipt, vendor code etc. is going to be managed.
  • To manage customer return invoices

      I would like to give some summary information on the TMS module. TMS module helps you manage your both inbound and outbound operations.   You can plan your shipments, routes, loads, appointments and drier check in/outs.  You can see the fastest or less expensive routes as an example with to assign rates and calculate with engines. Also you can manage and reconcile charges.

  In D365 F&O there are ways to manage the descriptions. You may find the list below: Manual:  You may fill the description in the journals per line before you post the transactions. you may fill both for account and offset account. If you define a description before, you may select one from the list. Automatic:  Some transactions are auto created to the journals or on transactions default from the hard coded codes, like asset lease management and some functionalities in TMS management. Default Descriptions:  You can setup default descriptions by transaction type (sales order invoice, Po invoice, revaluation etc). On the transaction types you can use static (constant) text and/or variables. Specific Cases:  There are specific cases like revaluation. If you define the text during to run in revaluation process, system uses that information instead of to use the definition on the default description. Or if there is no setup on default descriptions, cancel opera...
