**Invoice digitization** is the process of converting paper documents into vendor bill and customer invoice forms in your accounting.

Odoo uses OCR and artificial intelligence technologies to recognize the content of the documents. Vendor bill and customer invoice forms are automatically created and populated based on the scanned invoices.

## Configuration

In **Accounting -> Configuration -> Settings -> Digitization**, check the box **Document Digitization** and choose whether **Vendor Bills** and **Customer Invoices** (this includes customer credit notes) should be processed automatically or on demand.

If you enable the **Single Invoice Line Per Tax** option, only one line is created per tax in the new bill, regardless of the number of lines on the invoice.

## Invoice upload

### Upload invoices manually

From the **Accounting Dashboard**, click on the **Upload** button of your vendor bills journal. Alternatively, go to **Accounting -> Customers -> Invoices** or **Accounting -> Vendors -> Bills** and select **Upload**.

### Upload invoices using an email alias

You can configure your connected scanner to send scanned documents to an email alias. Emails sent to these aliases are converted into new draft customer invoices or vendor bills.

You can modify the email alias of a journal. To do so, go to the **Settings** app. Under **General Settings: Discuss**, enable **Custom Email Servers**, add an **Alias Domain**, and **Save**.

The email alias is now available in the **Advanced Settings** tab of the journal. Emails sent to this address will be converted automatically into new invoices or bills.

Note

If you use the [Documents](https://docs.kmee.com.br/en/odoo/enterprise/modules/documentos-e-planilhas/documentos/) app, you can automatically send your scanned invoices to the **Finance** workspace (e.g., `inbox-financial@example.odoo.com`).

The default email aliases `vendor-bills@` and `customer-invoices@` followed by the **Alias Domain** you set are automatically created for the **Vendor Bills** and **Customer Invoices** journals, respectively. Emails sent to these addresses are converted automatically into new invoices or bills.

To change a default email alias, go to **Accounting -> Configuration -> Accounting: Journals**. Select the journal you want to edit, click on the **Advanced Settings** tab, and edit the `Email Alias`.

## Invoice digitization

According to your settings, the document is either processed automatically, or you need to click on **Send for digitization** to do it manually.

Once the data is extracted from the PDF, you can correct it if necessary by clicking on the respective tags (available in **Edit** mode) and selecting the proper information instead.

## Data recognition with AI

It is essential to review and correct (if needed) the information uploaded during digitization. Then, you have to post the document by clicking on **Confirm**. In this manner, the AI learns, and the system identifies the correct data for future digitizations.

## Pricing

The **invoice digitization** is an In-App Purchase (IAP) service that requires prepaid credits to work. Digitizing one document consumes one credit.

To buy credits, go to **Accounting -> Configuration -> Settings -> Digitization** and click on **Buy credits**, or go to **Settings -> Odoo IAP** and click on **View My Services**.

Note

Enterprise Odoo users with a valid subscription get free credits to test IAP features before deciding to purchase more credits for the database. This includes demo/training databases, educational databases, and one-app-free databases.
