Note that in some cases, date validation looks at more than one of the earliest apply dates. This is covered in the relevant section of the help.

AP Invoice Header’s Custom Data |
Defines custom data fields for the header of Draft Invoices and AP Invoices. The fields are pairs, each formatted as "FieldName: DisplayLabel", and are separated by semicolons. For example: CustomField1: Useful Info; CustomField2: Another Useful Field If custom field values are entered for a Draft Invoice, these values are copied over when an AP Invoice is created from the Draft Invoice. Data Handling: Once defined and saved, the custom field data is stored locally in ARM (column UserDefinedData in the APInvoice table). If the Kinetic system’s APInvHed table contains corresponding UDFs (e.g. CustomField1_c, CustomField2_c), the values will also be synchronized and stored there. NOTE: AP Invoice Header’s Custom Data is a replacement for APInvoice Header UD Field Label and APInvoice Header UD Field Name. |

Transfer |
This number is used to set the document number on the next Transfer Order that is created in ARM. This setting should be used if there is any possibility of ARM Transfer Numbers clashing with Kinetic Transfer Order numbers. For example: If ARM is installed on a version of Kinetic where Transfer Orders already exist in Kinetic. One way to achieve differentiation between these two numbers is to set the next Transfer Order number in Kinetic to a very high number and the next Transfer Order number in ARM to a number lower than that but higher than the last Transfer Order Number created in Kinetic. |
Purchase Order |
This number is used to set the number on the next Purchase Order that is created in ARM. This setting should be used if there is any possibility of ARM Purchase Order numbers clashing with Kinetic Purchase Order numbers, for example if ARM is installed on a version of Kinetic where Purchase Orders already exist in Kinetic. One way to achieve differentiation between these two numbers is to set the next PO number in Kinetic to a very high number and the Purchase Order Last Document Number in ARM to a number lower than that but higher than the last PO Number created in Kinetic. To update the next PO number in Kinetic: Update Starting PO on the Modules > Materials > Purchase tab in System Setup > Company/Site Maintenance > Company Configuration. |

There are two groups of settings here: OCR General and OCR Suggestions.
Group OCR General
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
OCR Invoice User |
Specifies the ARM user who will be used for OCR Invoice creation |
AP Invoice’s OCR Batch Number Option |
Determines how Batch Number field on OCR-captured AP invoices will be populated. If set to "Use Auto-incrementing Batch Number with Prefix", the system will automatically determine a batch number using auto-incrementing rule. If set to "Use Specific Value", the system will require and use the predefined value specified in "Batch Number for OCR AP Invoices" setting. |
Batch Number for OCR AP Invoices |
Specifies the Batch Number for Invoices captured by OCR |
OCR Phantom Data Detection Ratio (%) |
Specifies the ratio (in percentage) to be used for detecting phantom OCR items when not enough values can be automatically extracted |
Group OCR Suggestions
Each of these settings has a Populate Threshold and a Trust Threshold.
Some of them also have a Trust Inferred Value setting.
And two settings, [DueDate] Trust Confidence Thresholds and [PaymentTerms] Trust Confidence Thresholds, also have an Ignore mismatch warnings setting.
Populate Threshold and Trust Threshold values range from 0 to 100, and can be updated here. Trust Inferred Value can either be selected or not, and these settings are also updated here.
When the data is read, confidence levels accompanying each data value are also assessed. The confidence levels of competing suggested values are ranked, so that the value with the highest confidence is the one that automatically populates the corresponding field (if it exceeds the Populate Threshold). The populated field is then used for automatic invoice creation if its confidence value also matches or exceeds the Trust Threshold.
| Populate Threshold |
This is the Auto-Populate Threshold. If the suggested value with the highest confidence is greater than or equal to the threshold, the target field will automatically be populated with the value. For example, if the Populate Threshold for setting [TotalAmount] Trust Confidence Thresholds is set at 25 and the suggested value with the highest confidence has a confidence of 35, the target field (TotalAmount) is populated with the suggested value. |
||||||||
| Trust Threshold |
This is the Trust Threshold. If the suggested value with the highest confidence is greater than or equal to the threshold, the auto-populated field will be trusted, allowing automatic invoice creation. |
||||||||
| Trust Inferred Value |
Specifies whether the inferred value should be trusted for this field. When the check box is selected, the inferred value will allow automatic invoice creation. For example: [Item Quantity] Trust Confidence Thresholds has Trust Inferred Value selected. If the value is missing from the PDF, it cannot be read. However, it can be inferred from other values (for example the Item Quantity can be inferred from the Item Amount and the Item UnitPrice). Because Trust Inferred Value is selected for [Item Quantity] Trust Confidence Thresholds, the inferred value for Item Quantity is allowed in automatic invoice creation. |
||||||||
| Ignore mismatch warnings |
Specifies whether to ignore mismatch warnings. When the check box is selected, the system ignores warnings where the value conflicts with a calculated or default value, allowing for automatic invoice creation. For example: If Ignore mismatch warnings is not selected for setting [DueDate] Trust Confidence Thresholds, a warning is displayed when a mismatch in due dates is encountered.
For the same draft invoice, the warning is ignored and does not appear, if the setting has Ignore mismatch warnings selected.
