This resource is pivotal for managing payments to suppliers after receiving goods or services and serves as a legally binding documentation of the purchase.
The Purchase Invoices entity utilizes a simplified model that primarily includes key information of the purchase invoice: invoice number, invoice date, fulfillment date, total amount, amount excluding tax, and taxes.
In addition, via AP Automation, it is possible to upload supplier invoices as PDF or image files (and XML files for DE legislation).
The uploaded document is analyzed by the OCR engine, which automatically creates a corresponding purchase invoice draft linked to the file through the fileId and fileName fields.
This process significantly reduces manual data entry and speeds up the recording of supplier invoices in Sage Active.
