  3. โœ Review and edit fields in the Kanban / form view.
  4. โœ… Validate and create a draft vendor bill with one click.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Batch Import

Upload a ZIP file containing PDFs and images. Small batches are processed immediately; larger batches are queued and processed automatically by a scheduled job (3 documents/minute by default).

๐Ÿ“‘ Multi-Line Invoices

When the OCR detects a table of line items, they are extracted into editable rows. If extraction is uncertain, a single global line is used as fallback. Coherence checks alert you when line totals do not match the header amount.
