Extract Attachments and Document References
Extract references to attached documents, supporting files, and related documentation mentioned in invoices.
When dealing with invoices, you may encounter references to attached documents and supporting files that are crucial for verification and record-keeping. Accountants and freelancers often rely on this information to ensure that all necessary documentation is accounted for, especially when preparing for audits or managing client accounts. These references not only streamline the invoicing process but also help maintain transparency between parties involved.
Common use cases for extracting document references include cross-checking expenses and ensuring that billed services align with supporting evidence. For instance, you might need to confirm that an invoice for a project is backed by a contract or proposal document. In such scenarios, having easy access to these references can save you time and reduce the potential for disputes.
To make the most of this extraction process, pay attention to the context in which document references appear. You might find them embedded within the body of the invoice or listed in a separate section. A practical tip is to create a checklist of essential documents you expect to see referenced, allowing you to quickly identify any missing items and follow up accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you extract attachment references?
Yes, when invoices mention attached documents (timesheets, delivery notes, etc.), we extract those references. Note that we extract the reference text, not the actual attached files.
What about related document numbers?
Related document references like delivery note numbers, packing slip IDs, or quote references mentioned on the invoice are extracted and included in the invoice details.
How are supporting documents noted?
References to supporting documentation appear in a separate field or in the notes section, making it clear which additional documents relate to the invoice.
Can you extract linked invoice numbers?
Yes, when invoices reference previous invoices, amended invoices, or related billing documents, we extract those invoice numbers for easy cross-referencing.
What about external document links?
If invoices contain references to external systems (like 'See portal document #12345'), we extract those references. However, we don't access external systems or follow web links.
