How to extract invoice data?

Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Upload the invoice PDF or image

There are two ways to upload:

  1. Inside a spreadsheet: Click Import > File or drag the file into the table canvas.
  2. From the dashboard: Use the Import file option.

2. Provide extraction instructions

Once you upload the file, you can give a prompt to help the AI focus on relevant data. This is optional but especially useful for invoices that contain a lot of clutter or non-tabular info.

Prompt examples:

  • Extract invoice date, supplier name, total amount, due date and currency.
  • Get invoice number, subtotal, tax, and final total from the PDF.
  • Extract only the line items: item name, quantity, unit price and line total.

If you leave this field empty, Rows Vision will try to extract everything it finds.

Who is it for?

This solution is ideal for:

  • Accounting and finance teams: Save hours by automating invoice logging and validation.
  • Small business owners: Track vendor payments and due dates without spreadsheets full of copy-pasting.
  • Procurement and operations: Reconcile invoices against purchase orders.
  • Startups & SaaS companies: Create dashboards for cash flow, invoice tracking, and spend analysis.
  • Freelancers and consultants: Organize incoming invoices for tax or expense tracking.
