Google Invoice Parser

Overview

The Google Invoice Parser Service in AIForged uses pre-trained invoice models from Google Document AI to extract key-value pairs and line items from invoices. The service returns typical invoice fields—such as Subtotal, VAT, Total, and Date—as well as detailed line items, which are presented in a structured table format.

No custom training is required; the service utilizes robust, internal pre-built invoice models for fast and accurate extraction from invoice documents.

  • Confirm that the file type is supported (PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF).
  • Some invoice layouts may not be fully supported; verify that your invoices follow standard formats.
• Line Items Not Extracted?
  • Ensure your invoices display line items in a standard table or itemized format.
  • Highly stylized, handwritten, or unusual invoice tables may impact extraction.
• Upload or Processing Errors?
  • Try re-uploading the document or use a different sample to rule out file-specific issues.
  • If errors persist, review your agent's configuration or contact support.
• Performance Issues?
  • Processing large batches may take longer. Start with smaller batches to ensure service responsiveness.
