Extract Data from Purchase Orders
How to extract structured data from purchase orders using LumiParser.
Create a Purchase Order parser
- Go to Parsers and click New Parser.
- Select Purchase Order as the document type.
- Name it and save.
Default fields: PO Number, Vendor/Supplier, Issue Date, Delivery Date, Line Items table (item, quantity, unit price, total), and Order Total.
Handling inbound vs. outbound POs
If you receive POs from customers, create one parser. If you also send POs to suppliers, create a second parser with the same document type but different field labels — for example, “Customer Name” vs “Supplier Name”. Keeping them separate avoids mixing up schemas.
Common additional fields
- Shipping Address
- Payment Terms
- Contact Person
- Currency
- Reference Number
