XML Description

Franck
Hello,

We do generate lot of scanned documents, and can easily generate the XML files for each of them thru the automatic scanning process.
However , we do not know (nor find !) the layout of the file we have to generate.

Let's assume we want to import invoices, which have two properties : number, and supplier.
Can somebody show us how the xml file look like ? ???

  • The only requirement of the scanner is that it outputs XML. M-Files doesn't require any specialized XML. As long as the scanner outputs XML in some form, it is possible to extract the information from it using XPath, which is a rather powerful query language for XML.

    And I guess I'm required to nudge tdecker towards a solution including eCopy scan station and eCopy connector for M-Files here. The difference to the XML data extraction is huge.
