What AP and accounting teams are saying

“We process 800+ vendor invoices a month. Keying invoice numbers, amounts, and line items used to take our AP team two full days. Now we upload the batch and get a structured spreadsheet with every field in minutes.”

“The AI columns feature is perfect for invoice analysis. We asked it to find ‘payment terms’ and ‘early payment discount’ and it pulled exactly what we needed from 300 different vendor formats.”

“We used it for a vendor audit — extracting line items and totals from thousands of invoices across three years. Scanned documents, different formats for each vendor. It handled everything without templates.”

Features

Everything you need to extract data from invoices

No templates. No training data. No per-vendor setup.

Any invoice format, any vendor

Vendor invoices, purchase orders, credit memos, debit notes, pro forma invoices, and recurring bills. Upload PDFs, scans, photos, or email attachments. The AI reads the invoice structure and extracts every field into organized columns without per-vendor templates.

Full line item extraction

The extraction engine captures every line item — descriptions, quantities, unit prices, and line totals — not just header fields. Multi-page invoices with complex tables are handled automatically. AI columns let you define custom extraction rules in plain English for any field.

Structured output for AP workflows

Export extracted invoice data directly to Excel or Google Sheets with one click. Download as CSV or JSON for import into ERP systems, accounting software, or AP automation tools. The REST API returns structured JSON with confidence scores for automated invoice processing pipelines.

Results

From manual invoice keying to automated extraction

“We needed to extract line items and totals from 5,000+ vendor invoices for a year-end audit. Manual data entry would have taken our AP team weeks. We extracted all the data in one afternoon.”

AP, accounting, and finance teams processing high volumes of invoices across mixed vendor formats have reduced manual keying time by 80–90% after switching to AI-powered extraction.

How invoice extraction works

Invoices contain critical financial data — vendor names, invoice numbers, dates, line item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, totals, tax amounts, PO numbers, and payment terms — spread across varying layouts from hundreds of different vendors. Every supplier uses a different invoice format. A single company may receive thousands of invoices per month, each requiring someone to manually key every field into an ERP or spreadsheet.

Traditional invoice processing is labor-intensive. An AP clerk manually keying a multi-page invoice with 20+ line items takes 5–15 minutes per document. At scale, this creates bottlenecks during month-end close, audit preparation, and vendor reconciliation. Template-based extraction tools require per-vendor configuration and break when suppliers update their invoice layouts.

AI-powered invoice extraction reads the document the way a trained AP clerk would, understanding that the number after “Invoice #” is an invoice number, that “Due Date” precedes a payment deadline, that rows in a table section are line items, and that the bottom-right total is the amount due. This contextual understanding works across vendor formats without per-invoice configuration.

The result is structured data — vendors, amounts, line items, dates, and PO numbers — flowing directly into Excel, Google Sheets, or CSV, ready for import into your ERP, accounting software, or AP automation workflow. Lido is a layout-agnostic AI extraction platform that handles this pipeline end to end, and AI columns let you define any custom extraction field in plain English.

Teams using Lido for invoice extraction report reducing manual data entry by 80–90%, whether they process vendor invoices, purchase orders, credit memos, or any combination of AP documents. For a comprehensive guide to the technology, read what OCR data extraction is and how it works.

Frequently asked questions

What is invoice extraction?

Invoice extraction is the process of automatically pulling structured data from invoices — vendor names, invoice numbers, dates, line items, amounts, tax, and PO numbers — and converting it into organized spreadsheet data. AI-powered extraction reads the document structure and identifies fields by context, without per-vendor templates.

How does AI invoice extraction work?

AI-powered invoice extraction reads invoices the way a trained AP clerk would — understanding that the number after “Invoice #” is an invoice number, that table rows are line items, and that the bottom total is the amount due. Unlike template-based tools, AI extraction handles any vendor format without configuration.

What data can be extracted from invoices?

Common fields include vendor name, invoice number, invoice date, due date, PO number, line item descriptions, quantities, unit prices, line totals, subtotal, tax, total amount, payment terms, and bank details. AI columns let you define custom extraction rules for any field.

Is invoice extraction secure?

Lido is SOC 2 Type 2 certified with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit. Invoices are deleted within 24 hours. Your documents are never used to train AI models.

How much does invoice extraction cost?

Enterprise AP automation platforms cost $20,000–100,000+/year. AI extraction tools like Lido start at $29/month with 50 free pages and no credit card required, providing a cost-effective option when you need extraction without full AP automation features.

Can invoice extraction handle scanned invoices?

Yes. Many invoices arrive as scanned PDFs or faxed copies. Template-based tools fail when scanning shifts the layout. AI-powered tools like Lido handle digital PDFs, scanned invoices, and photos with the same extraction pipeline, plus offer free 24-hour reprocessing.

What invoice formats are supported?

Lido processes PDFs (digital and scanned), images (JPEG, PNG, TIFF), email attachments, and photographed documents. The layout-agnostic AI handles invoices from any vendor regardless of format, language, or layout — including multi-page invoices with complex line item tables.
