What it does

One button on the bill

An Extract with AI button on any draft vendor bill. It reads the newest PDF, PNG or JPEG attached to that bill, so a scan or a phone photo works as well as a supplier PDF.

Supplier matching

The supplier is matched against your existing contacts first, by name, tax ID and bank account. Only when nothing matches is a new contact created.

Header fields

Invoice date, due date, supplier reference, payment reference and currency, each written only when the field is still empty.

Lines and taxes

Invoice lines with description, quantity and unit price, with taxes matched to the taxes configured in the company that owns the bill.

Nothing overwritten

Values an accountant already entered are left alone, and existing invoice lines are never modified, so a half-filled bill is safe to run through.

An audit note

Every run leaves a chatter note recording what was read and anything that looked doubtful, so the extraction can be checked afterwards.

Setup

Install

1. Install the Python package anthropic on the Odoo server.
2. Put the module in your addons path and update the Apps list.
3. Install Wolfinne AI Invoice Extract. It pulls in Invoicing and Odoo's own invoice extraction module.

Configure

Open Accounting → Configuration → Settings and find AI Invoice Extraction:

• Anthropic API Key, stored masked and visible only to Billing Administrators.
• Model, the Claude model id used for extraction.
• Max output tokens and timeout, for cost and latency control.
• System prompt override, optional, for house-specific extraction rules.

Good to know

• Extraction is a suggestion, not a posting. A human still reviews and confirms the bill.
• Results depend on the model and on the quality of the document. Faint scans and unusual layouts read less reliably than a clean PDF.
• The module reads the most recently attached file, so re-attaching a better scan and pressing the button again is the way to retry.

• Taxes are matched within the company that owns the bill, so a multi-company database will not borrow another company's taxes.
• English source terms ship with German, Serbian Cyrillic and Serbian Latin translations.
• The API key is never included in log output, including on timeouts and auth failures.
