-->Azure Form Recognizer can analyze and extract information from sales invoices using its prebuilt invoice models. The Invoice API enables customers to take invoices in various formats and return structured data to automate the invoice processing. It combines our powerful Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capabilities with invoice understanding deep learning models to extract key information from invoices written in English. It extracts the text, tables, and information such as customer, vendor, invoice ID, invoice due date, total, invoice amount due, tax amount, ship to, bill to, line items and more. The prebuilt Invoice API is publicly available in the Form Recognizer v2.1 preview.
What does the Invoice service do?
The Invoice API extracts key fields and line items from invoices and returns them in an organized structured JSON response. Invoices can be from various formats and quality, including phone-captured images, scanned documents, and digital PDFs. The invoice API will extract the structured output from all of these invoices.

The Analyze Invoice operation
The Analyze Invoice operation takes an image or PDF of an invoice as the input and extracts the values of interest. The call returns a response header field called Operation-Location. The Operation-Location Retroarch docker windows. value is a URL that contains the Result ID to be used in the next step.
| Response header | Result URL |
|---|---|
| Operation-Location | https://cognitiveservice/formrecognizer/v2.1-preview.3/prebuilt/invoice/analyzeResults/49a36324-fc4b-4387-aa06-090cfbf0064f |
The Get Analyze Invoice Result operation
The second step is to call the Get Analyze Invoice Result operation. This operation takes as input the Result ID that was created by the Analyze Invoice operation. It returns a JSON response that contains a status field with the following possible values. You call this operation iteratively until it returns with the succeeded value. Use an interval of 3 to 5 seconds to avoid exceeding the requests per second (RPS) rate.
| Field | Type | Possible values |
|---|---|---|
| status | string | notStarted: The analysis operation has not started. running: The analysis operation is in progress. failed: The analysis operation has failed. succeeded: The analysis operation has succeeded. |

When the status field has the succeeded value, the JSON response will include the invoice understanding results, tables extracted and optional text recognition results, if requested. The invoice understanding result is organized as a dictionary of named field values, where each value contains the extracted text, normalized value, bounding box, confidence, and corresponding word elements. It also includes the line items extracted where each line item contains the amount, description, unitPrice, quantity etc. The text recognition result is organized as a hierarchy of lines and words, with text, bounding box and confidence information.
Sample JSON output
The response to the Get Analyze Invoice Result operation will be the structured representation of the invoice with all the information extracted.See here for a sample invoice file and its structured output sample invoice output.
The JSON output has three parts:
'readResults'node contains all of the recognized text and selection marks. Text is organized by page, then by line, then by individual words.'pageResults'node contains the tables and cells extracted with their bounding boxes, confidence, and a reference to the lines and words in 'readResults'.'documentResults'node contains the invoice-specific values and line items that the model discovered.
