What is a Financial Document?
We consider a financial document any typical document exchanged in an Accounts Payable or Accounting process.
Financial Documents are classified in sub-types, namely:
- Invoice
- Credit Note
- Debit Note
- Receipt
- Purchase Order
- Other
Invoice:
[Definition] By definition an invoice is a request for payment sent by the seller to the customer.
[Classification Rule] We consider an invoice a document that has the keyword invoice as a header of the document (written in every supported language).
Credit Note:
[Definition] A credit note is a negative invoice.
[Classification Rule] We consider a credit note a document that has the keyword credit note as a header of the document (written in every supported language).
Debit Note:
[Definition] A debit note is a document used by a vendor to inform the buyer of current debt obligations.
[Classification Rule] We consider a debit note a document that has the keyword debit note as a header of the document (written in every supported language).
Receipt:
[Definition] A receipt is proof of payment. It is a document confirming that a customer received the goods or services they paid for.
[Classification Rule] We consider a receipt as any document that has the keyword receipt as a header of the document (written in every supported language).
Purchase Order:
[Definition]: A purchase order is a commercial document and the first official offer issued by a buyer to a seller indicating types, quantities, and agreed prices for products and services.
[Classification Rule]: We consider a purchase order as a document that has the keyword purchase order as a header of the document (written in every supported language).
Other:
[Classification Rule] If the document does not fit any of the sub-types above but has an indication of the supplier, recipient, and values we consider the document in the other classification.
Examples: reservations, online tickets, quotations, confirmation bills, receipts regarding invoices, account statements, and invoice details.
Attention: In this case, we do not guarantee data consistency because it may not have fit the data schema we are applying.
