Mindee provider

This add-on brings the Mindee integration to the AZ AI OCR Vendor Bills ecosystem. It uses Mindee's invoice extraction to parse PDFs and return supplier details, invoice number, dates, currency, line items, and totals.

Pricing: this provider module costs 15.00 €, if you have purchased the base module ( AZ AI OCR Vendor Bills ) first.

Key features

  • Two integration modes:
    • Invoice v4 (REST) - synchronous REST endpoint
    • ClientV2 (Model ID) - Mindee SDK v2 with a specific model ID
  • High-quality invoice parsing (vendor, number, dates, currency, taxes, totals, lines)
  • International: works across many locales and formats
  • Timeout control for API calls
  • Clear, structured logging in Odoo for troubleshooting
  • Seamless with the base module's Import vendor bill (AI) wizard

Requirements

This provider relies on the following (installation details are not included here):

  • Mindee API key
  • For REST (Invoice v4): Mindee base URL (default https://api.mindee.net) and the Invoice v4 synchronous product path
  • For ClientV2: Mindee Model ID and the Python package mindee available to the Odoo server

Notes: API usage is subject to your Mindee plan and rate limits. Make sure your key and model configuration match your Mindee account.

Configuration

  1. Install AZ AI OCR Vendor Bills (base module) and this provider: az_invoice_provider_ai_ocr_mindee.
  2. Go to:
    Accounting → Configuration → Settings → AI OCR for Vendor Bills
    Select Mindee (Invoice OCR v4) as the active provider.
  3. In the Mindee Invoice OCR settings block:
    • Mode - choose between Invoice v4 (REST) or Model ID (ClientV2)
    • Mindee API key - paste only the raw key (do not include the Token prefix)
    • Mindee v2 model ID - required for ClientV2; copy exactly from your Mindee account
    • HTTP timeout (sec) - set the timeout used for Mindee calls
Mindee provider settings: select provider and configure fields

How to use

  1. Open Accounting → Vendors → Bills, click New. In the bill form, press Import vendor bill (AI), upload the PDF, and choose between a single "totals" line or full line items.
  2. The provider sends the PDF to Mindee according to the configured mode, maps the returned fields, and attaches the original PDF to the draft bill.

Tips & troubleshooting

  • If you see authentication or 401/403 errors, verify the API key and its permissions in your Mindee account.
  • If using ClientV2, ensure the mindee Python package is available to your Odoo server and the Model ID is correct.
  • Increase the HTTP timeout for very large PDFs or when your network is slow.
  • Check Odoo logs for the detailed request/response context (without sensitive data) to aid debugging.

Privacy & data

This provider sends documents to Mindee for processing. Be sure your use complies with your organization's data handling policies and your Mindee plan's terms. API usage may incur costs according to your Mindee subscription.
