Hello community,
I am here with a new issue. 😊
In IFS Cloud, we can manually scan delivery notes.
Now I want to automate this process using BPA Workflows.
The first question is::
Can we read or scan a PDF file with workflows?
Thank you in advance.
Question
Use BPA Workflow to scan delivery notes

As far as I know, BPA Workflows do not provide built-in OCR or PDF parsing capabilities that would allow a workflow to directly read and extract data from an uploaded PDF delivery note.
If your goal is to automate the Scan Delivery Note process, you would typically need an external service to perform the document recognition and data extraction. For example, the PDF could be processed by a document capture/OCR solution, and the extracted data could then be passed back to IFS through available APIs or workflow activities.
A few questions that may help determine the best approach:
- Is the delivery note a text-based PDF or a scanned image PDF?
- Are you trying to upload the PDF to the standard Scan Delivery Note assistant and have it processed automatically, or are you looking to bypass the assistant completely and create the receipt/dispatch information through APIs?
