Need a facility to upload AP invoices through CSV file (as we did while migrating to Jobpac). This saves our time compared to registering invoices one by one. Hope this is a basic facility which every ERP provides in the market.

Hi Suzanne,
Please contact our support team for relevant guides and information on OCR.
Essentially, Jobpac is OCR agnostic, meaning you can use any OCR service of
your choice and connect it to Jobpac. Provided that the system can send
Jobpac the Invoice data in our required format. Our customers tend to work
with 5 or 6 different OCR providers, but we do also have partners in this
space who are more familiar with our customers' needs. These OCR Partners
are Edge Global and Lentune, both of which have OCR solutions that connect
to Jobpac. These would be my recommendations to you.
Cheers
Andrew
Are there any instructions on how the OCR in Jobpac works? I cannot seem to find any information in the current manuals that demonstrate this process.
HI Andrew,
Any update on this??
Hi Andrew,
I raised a ticket and please see below the response – I am not quite getting , what are you asking me to do
Hi Kamatchi,
This functionality is not available in Jobpac Connect.
You could perhaps log your requirements in the suggestion box? You can access the Suggestion Box via: https://jpc.ideas.aha.io/
This will make it visible for other clients using Jobpac who can then vote on having this feature added to Jobpac.
Our Product Development Team review the suggestions logged and may consider them as roadmap items for future development.
Thank you,

Hi Kamatchi,
We can do this almost exactly utilizing the OCR Interface functionality. There is Zero cost for the interface, you own it already as part of our standard product, so I’m not exactly sure what you mean by expensive?
I am 100% sure we can help you with this immediately which is great news.
Please log a request for service in Clearview and we will assign a consultant to help you set it up.
Thanks

Hi Andrew, As we receive multiple invoices from the same supplier , our suppliers will forward us those invoices along with a CSV file, which can be modified according to the upload template and uploaded like 'Register invoices' - not coded or not approved. Then the approval process starts from the project side. We don't want the OCR interface facility which is very expensive compared to the market. Please feel free to call us in you need further information on this.
Hi Kamatchi,
Jobpac has this facility allowing excel upload and also an OCR interface facility that allows you to email scanned images and invoice metadata directly into Jobpac.
Using this method invoices are uploaded Jobpac as Pending invoices and can then be pushed through a costing and Approval workflow in Jobpac before the invoice is posted.
In addition if the invoice matches an approved PO within a set tolerance the Invoice can be automatically approved and posted with no human intervention.
At the moment we don’t allow uploading of pre approved coded invoices directly to Posted status as it bypasses integrity and approval controls in Jobpac.
What is your specific use case? Perhaps we can discuss further as there is a lot of movement in this space already and in fact in 2019 we may see a standard einvoicing format Australia wide which could change things again.
If you are interested in any of the existing functionality mentioned above please log a request for service and a consultant can help you set it up.
Thanks
Andrew
