Can OCR identify projects?

We use OCR to process our incoming invoices but it doesn't populate our projects.  Is this a deficiency in the product or a lack of configuration on our part? 

TIA.

It populates project when tied to a Purchase Order. It does not tie to a subcontract yet. This is on our roadmap. We are also working on some things related to Single Project/Document flag to simplify the process.

So it sounds like what you’re saying is that the OCR will identify a purchase order and then use that info to link to a project.  But if we don’t use purchase orders for every transaction we’re out of luck.  We are a construction business and rely on subcontracts.  It seems like a lot of work to have to then create a PO for each subcontract AND get our vendors to reference both a project AND a PO.

Hi @RHarrison ,

We are currently working on the overall analysis of the AP Document Recognition tool, and the handling of Project related information.  I do not have a specific release assigned for those, but you can look at other ideas and vote/add comments under this related item;
