During validation, the electronic invoices are first technically checked and, if errors exist, meaningful, detailed reports are generated in HTML format. The user can then decide whether to reject the respective invoice and send it back to the sender. If it is accepted, it will be transferred to windream together with the test report and the original PDF-document. Thereby, the information contained in it is used for indexing in windream.

"In contrast to scanned or simple PDF invoices, all accounting-relevant information is already available as an XML file. This ensures faster processing, shorter processing times and thus better possibilities to use discount options", explains Werner Schlieper, Head of Product Management at windream GmbH.
