OCR Aliases – Fields to Identify the Supplier

Written by Denisa Arjoca
Updated over a month ago

Use Alias Groups to specify which fields uniquely identify a supplier.

When Coins ERP+ processes a scanned image, it checks which layouts include all of these fields. For each layout, it then examines the image to identify these fields on the image.

Based on those fields, the process associates the image with a Coins ERP+ record and a layout.

Currently this only works for Accounts Payable invoices.

  1. Add an alias group named REGION:VENDOR_01.

  2. In the Description field, enter a comma-separated list of the fields that will uniquely identify a supplier; for example: supplier name, supplier ZIP code, and phone number.
