Invoice Capture is a web application to manage invoices - usually PDF documents - in OpenKM. It helps in sending and reception of invoices related to a company and eventually, catalog automatically.
Currently are available English and Spanish translations, but can be easily translated to other languages.
Metadata used by catalog
Application use metadata in combination with Automation to automatically catalog invoices.
Can create different types of documents - invoices, delivery notes, etc - by creating different groups of metadata that are dynamically loaded in the entry data form.
Some of the metadata fields by default are:
- Company Tax number (required)
- Company name (required)
- Company internal code (not required)
- Invoice number (not required)
- Invoice status ( possible values: sent, received, etc )
- Date (required)
- User
- VAT
- Total cost
The invoices are cataloged into OpenKM by default with the following folder structure: /okm:root/{root.destination.folder}/{tax number}/{year}/{month} where {tax number}, {year} and {month} corresponds with metadata field values.
The root.destination.folder is set in the file named invoice-capture.properties, here you set the name of the folder directly.
Configuration preliminaries
The roles used by the application are :
- ROLE_ADMIN
- ROLE_STANDARD
