Learn how to use Copilot Audit to automate your invoice verification through a hands-on example.

Document Preparation

For this example, we will use two test documents:

  • Purchase Invoice.pdf: A supplier invoice

  • Sales Invoice.pdf: A customer invoice

Both documents are available for download at the bottom of the page.


1. Importing Documents

  • In the "Copilot Audit" tab, click on "Documents."

  • Click "Upload Documents."

  • Select the two PDF files.

  • Wait for the import confirmation.


Preparing Excel Data

Copy this table with the information to verify:

Amount

Date

Invoice Number

3500

27/11/2024

1

500

01/12/2024

1


Matching Process

1. Selecting Data

  • Click on "Document Matching" in the Copilot Audit tab.

  • Select the cell range containing your table (including headers).

  • Click "Next."

2. Choosing Documents

  • From the list of documents, check:

    • Purchase Invoice.pdf

    • Sales Invoice.pdf

  • Click "Next."

3. Configuring Columns

By default, Copilot Audit suggests output columns immediately following your data:

  • Column D for the Amount results.

  • Column E for the Date results.

  • Column F for the Invoice Number results.

You can modify these columns if needed.

4. Running the Analysis

  • Click "Run."

Copilot Audit will:

  • Analyze each document.

  • Search for matching information.

  • Insert results into the specified columns.


Reading the Results

Results are displayed with an intuitive color code:

  • 🟢 Green: Information was found and matches exactly.

  • 🟠 Orange: A possible match was found but requires verification.

  • 🔴 Red: No match was found.

The last column (in blue) indicates the name of the source document, helping you quickly trace each piece of information's origin.


Practical Tips

  • Ensure column headers are clearly labeled.

  • Check that your PDF documents are readable (avoid poor-quality scans).

  • For best results, use documents with a similar structure.

  • If unsure about a match, click on the cell to view the source document.
