As an optional service, extracts from the customer master data can be used to raise the accuracy rate of the captured data, to deliver invoice data values that exactly match the values in the customer invoice processing system, or the invoice content can be validated against the values in the customer data extract. The customer master data extracts are uploaded from the customer's environment (Basware SaaS, or customer on-premise) using a FTP or FTPS connection. The upload is automatic and typically scheduled to take place once a day. On-site customers have the responsibility to monitor the service and to ensure that the uploaded data is refreshed daily. Customers in Basware SaaS environment are monitored by Basware.
The use of extracts enables optional features such as Supplier data enrichment, Order validation, Contract validation, and/or Scan and Capture business data validation. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the master data (typically taken from ERP) is up to date and doesn't contain errors.
While reviewing the reported quality feedback, we identified one or more values that were captured correctly based on the master data and in accordance with the Scan and Capture Specification and Validation Guide (SVG). The latter document defines the fields for which the master data extract must be used for capturing the correct value. In addition, there are rules to determine the field value and it can be based on multiple different validation steps (bank account, VAT, address, etc.).
No immediate actions required, please wait for Basware to contact you for further follow-up.
