Extract Attachments and Document References
Extract references to attached documents, supporting files, and related documentation mentioned in invoices.
When you extract references to attached documents and supporting files from invoices, you empower accountants and freelancers to maintain clear records and ensure all necessary information is accounted for. This data is crucial for tracking expenses, verifying transactions, and providing clients with comprehensive financial reports. By systematically organizing these references, you can enhance your workflow and reduce the chances of overlooking important documentation.
Common use cases for extracting document references include reconciling expenses, preparing for audits, and facilitating communication with clients regarding billing disputes. For freelancers, having easy access to supporting files can streamline project management and improve transparency. By keeping a detailed log of these references, you can also simplify the process of providing clients with backup documentation when requested.
A practical tip for effective extraction is to create a standardized format for how you reference attachments within your invoices. This could include specifying file types or naming conventions that align with your organizational system. By doing this, you make it easier to track and retrieve documents later on, saving you time and effort when managing your financial records.

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.
