What is invoice conversion?

Invoice conversion is the process of transforming an invoice (PDF, scanned image or digital file) into structured, machine-readable data like Excel (XLSX) or CSV. Affinda’s AI platform automates the entire workflow - from document intake through extraction, validation and export - so you can convert invoices to Excel or CSV files in minutes with 99%+ accuracy, ready for accounts payable processing, spend analysis or integration with your business systems.

What is invoice data extraction?

Invoice data extraction reads an invoice and pulls out key data points such as supplier name, invoice number, dates, line items, tax amounts and totals. Affinda’s AI turns unstructured invoices into clean Excel or CSV formats that feed straight into your ERP, AP automation platforms or downstream workflows.

The platform combines reading-order models, OCR, LLMs, RAG and agentic workflows to extract data from any invoice layout or language with high accuracy and fast processing times, suitable for both one-off conversions and bulk processing.

Line-item extraction captures every row in the invoice’s item table and preserves the relationships between columns (description, quantity, unit price, line total, tax codes, etc.). Complex-tables capability “reads” your invoice lines with strong contextual understanding, ensuring clean, analysis-ready Excel or CSV files that support three-way matching, spend analysis and straight-through processing.
