Extract Data from Invoices
How to set up LumiParser to extract data from vendor invoices and bills.
Create an LumiParser
- Go to Parsers and click New Parser.
- Select Invoice as the document type.
- Name it something like “Supplier Invoices” and save.
Your parser will come pre-configured with the most common invoice fields: Vendor Name, Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Due Date, Subtotal, Tax, and Total Amount.
Adding line items
To extract invoice line items (description, quantity, unit price, amount), go to Fields & Tables and ensure the Line Items table is enabled. The default line item columns are:
- Description
- Quantity
- Unit Price
- Amount
You can add custom columns if your invoices include additional data (e.g. GL code, product ID).
Common customisations
- Add a Currency field (Plain text) if you receive invoices in multiple currencies.
- Add a PO Number field to capture the purchase order reference.
- Add a Payment Terms field (Plain text) if you need to track net-30, net-60, etc.
