Is anyone using OCR to import Supplier Invoices into IFS for France.  We are in contact with Ricoh and Skilja but wondered if anyone has any other options to suggest (for a small quantity of invoices). 

This relates to invoices coming in from suppliers outside of France.

Hi, 

Pagero is a partner that is recommended most by IFS.  We (IFS) use Pagero in our global organizations. We have a company in France, I suspect we use Pagero within that company. 

Other options exist. 

Pagero is probably the most common partner we use for the supplier invoice / OCR process. I’ve used a few different solutions within our implementations; I’m really interested in a new process recently created by another partner - (ex R&D) people. 

Best regards

I seem to remember hearing that IFS Cloud 25R1 include an out-of-the-box solution for invoice OCR via IFS.ai? Can anyone confirm if that’s correct?


Hi, 

This is correct (IFS added Supplier Invoice Data Capture in 25R1). .  The downside from what I understand, is that the supplier invoice (PDF / Paper copy) needs to be in a similar format so that the OCR can be successful. 

Not as elegant as purpose-built solutions I’ve seen while working out clients.  At this time, I don’t see options to create different templates (data styles) that make the scanning (OCR) more successful. 

The 25R1, solution IMO will be enhanced based on client feedback. 

Best regards, 

Thomas
