with OCR for invoices
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is the foundational technology that makes it possible to digitize invoices by converting them into machine-readable text. This technology identifies characters (letters, numbers, and symbols) in physical documents to facilitate digital processing in accounting and administrative departments.
OCR for invoices goes beyond basic recognition. This advanced technology uses artificial intelligence and deep learning algorithms not only to recognize text, but to understand the meaning, context, and specific structure of invoices, including key fields such as dates, amounts, VAT, line items, and tax data.

Why implement OCR for invoices in your company?
Advantages of using Dijit.app
Accounting automation and resource savings
The OCR for invoices technology completely eliminates the tedious task of manually entering tax data into accounting systems. Recent studies show that the traditional process consumes approximately 15 minutes per invoice, including review, validation, and recording. With Dijit.app, this time is reduced to just 30 seconds per document, as the system automatically extracts all relevant data: issuer, recipient, date, invoice number, taxable base, itemized VAT, and total.
A distinctive feature of our OCR for invoices is automatic posting according to the General Chart of Accounts. The system identifies the nature of the invoice and automatically assigns the corresponding accounting entry, distinguishing between different types of expenses, investments, or services. This automation not only drastically reduces the time spent on administrative tasks, but also minimizes human errors that can lead to issues with the tax authorities.
Regulatory compliance and e-invoicing
With the mandatory implementation of electronic invoicing and the increasingly strict requirements of tax authorities, OCR for invoices becomes an indispensable tool to ensure regulatory compliance. Dijit.app's system not only digitizes paper invoices, but also automatically validates that received electronic invoices comply with all legal requirements according to Royal Decree 1619/2012 and the latest e-invoicing regulations.
Our OCR for invoices enables immediate adaptation to regulatory changes without the need for manual updates or additional training. The system automatically checks for all mandatory fields, detects inconsistencies in VAT and withholding calculations, and even verifies the validity of tax IDs (NIF/CIF) by connecting to official databases. This thorough validation minimizes the risk of rejections by the Tax Agency and ensures the tax deductibility of all processed invoices.
Integration with ERP and management systems
One of the greatest advantages of Dijit.app's OCR for invoices is its ability to integrate seamlessly with any existing business software. Our system connects natively with the leading ERPs on the market (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage, A3ERP, Contasol, etc.) and with specialized solutions for different sectors. This integration allows the data extracted from invoices to flow automatically into accounting, financial management, purchasing, and budget control applications.
The system can automate the entire invoice approval cycle according to the rules defined by the company. From initial receipt to posting and payment scheduling, each invoice follows a predefined workflow with validations by designated managers. Integration with payment systems even makes it possible to prepare automatic bank remittances once invoices have been approved, thus closing the entire document management cycle without the need for intermediate manual processes.
Steps to implement OCR for invoices in your company with Dijit.app
Discover how to digitize and automate the entire invoice management process, from receipt to posting, while meeting all legal requirements and significantly optimizing your company’s financial workflows.
Initial setup and invoice capture
The first step to implementing an OCR for invoices system is to define the sources from which these documents will be received. Dijit.app allows invoices to be captured from multiple sources: digitization of physical documents using a scanner or smartphone, direct import from email, automatic receipt from electronic invoicing platforms (FACe, FACeB2B), or download from supplier portals.
During setup, the OCR for invoices system is adapted to your company’s specifics: chart of accounts, organizational structure (departments, projects, cost centers), approval workflows, and existing management software. It is also possible to customize specific validation rules according to internal requirements, such as mandatory verification of purchase order numbers or identification of budget items for each expense.
Processing and extraction of tax data
The OCR for invoices technology from Dijit.app uses advanced AI and Machine Learning algorithms specially trained to recognize the structure of Spanish and international invoices. The system automatically identifies all relevant data: issuer, tax ID, recipient, invoice number, issue date, due date, taxable base, applied VAT rates, withholdings, discounts, surcharges, and total amount due.
One of the most powerful features of our OCR for invoices is the ability to extract invoice line-item breakdowns, enabling detailed accounting allocation by concept. The system also recognizes special conditions such as payment methods, supplier IBAN, references to related purchase orders or delivery notes, and other relevant notes. The combination of visual recognition and semantic processing techniques ensures accuracy above 98%, even in non-standard formats.
Validation, approval, and posting
Once the data has been extracted using OCR for invoices, the system begins a customizable validation and approval workflow based on each company’s organizational structure. Invoices can follow predefined validation paths based on multiple criteria: amount, department, project, supplier, or expense type. Designated managers receive automatic notifications to approve or reject invoices from any device, and can add comments or request additional information.
