Hello all,

The issue of transferring delivery notes (i.e. in paper form) to IFS using recognition software has arisen in our company, so that they can always be found digitally (in IFS) and no time-consuming searching is necessary. Accordingly, we want to get away from the paper form. In the end, there should be a link between the delivery note and the purchase order placed, and this link should be retrievable in the attachments in the IFS on the corresponding screen.
Have any of you already gone through such an implementation? If so, what recognition software was used and how was it implemented?

We have roughly thought of the following:
1. the received delivery note is recognized by the recognition software by means of the delivery notes number.
2. this received delivery note is first processed there.
3. after that the XML and the PDF file of the delivery note is sent to IFS.
4. the PDF file and the XML file of the delivery note are to be stored in the attachments in the "Dispatch Advice" screen.
5. then the delivery should be entered manually from it.
     a) manually select the delivered PO-Lines based on the paper or pdf delivery note
         or
     b) automatically identify PO-lines delivered from the paper delivery note by the recognition software

Has anyone experienced this issue before?
Thanks.

Moved to Supply Chain. Although this is related to "documents", perhaps there are people that have thought about this already that are working with our purchase order functionality.
