  • Typically, Accounts Payable Operations integration with Document Intelligence automatically creates the invoice processing case by extracting data from the invoice that you receive as an attachment via email. However, the Accounts Payable Specialist may need to manually create a new invoice or update details of a partially created invoice in situations where the automated invoice creation process encounters issues or is not available.

    By default, when an inbound email is received in Accounts Payable Operations integration with Document Intelligence, the invoice processing flow is triggered and an invoice case with a category of Invoice automation and sub-category of Invoice processing is created. For more information, see Install Accounts Payable Operations integration with Document Intelligence.
