Feature List
Which Data Fields can Smartscan extract?¶
Below is an overview of all the features we support.
The total amount, supplier name, and the issued date on are essential parts of a business document. Smartscan also provides more details from the receipt based on the region, such as IBAN, Bank Account Number for European businesses, Payment IDs, etc.
- The caller has to specify which fields they want processed by the API.
- We continuously work with our integrations to expand our feature and language support. Please contact us if you would like us to look into new features.
Information
The current setup of Smartscan exclusively scans the first and last pages of a document, with the expection of purchase lines which scan the first 5 pages of the document. This targeted approach significantly speeds up the prediction process. If you need to extract data from documents with more than 5 pages, please refer to the Asynchronous Processing.

Field information¶
Deprecation
Note that ORDER_DATE
, INVOICE_NUMBER
and SUPPLIER_CORPORATE_ID
are deprecated and will be removed from the default set in a future release. In the case of SUPPLIER_CORPORATE_ID
it's recommended that users consider using either Supplier VAT number or Supplier Org Number instead of the deprecated supplier corporate ID, which can take either form.
SUPPLIER_CORPORATE_ID
: It's recommended that users consider using either Supplier VAT number or Supplier Org Number instead of the deprecated supplier corporate ID, which can take either form.- Upcoming features: Smartscan currently cannot predict the Order Reference, but you can provide it in the feedback calls as
ORDER_REFERENCE
, which we can then use in the future to train Smartscan.
