Overview of Invoice Summarizer

Invoice Summarizer is a specialized tool crafted for auditors and finance professionals to streamline the analysis of business and personal expenses from invoices. Its primary design purpose is to accurately and efficiently convert invoice data into a structured table format, facilitating quick review and reconciliation processes. This tool is particularly adept at handling invoices in various currencies, identifying specific information such as invoice numbers, descriptions, dates, subtotals in local currency, and calculating the equivalent in Canadian Dollars (CAD) using the appropriate exchange rates. For example, if an auditor receives a batch of invoices in both CAD and USD, Invoice Summarizer can process these documents, apply the correct exchange rate for the USD invoices, and present all the data in a unified table format, making it easier to assess and integrate into financial reports.

Core Functions of Invoice Summarizer

  • Column Confirmation and Customization

    Before processing, users confirm the specific columns needed, such as Invoice Number, Description, and Subtotals in both local and CAD currency. If a user needs an additional column for 'Payment Method', this can be included upon request.

    Example Scenario

    An auditor preparing a financial report needs to categorize expenses not only by amount but also by payment method to analyze spending patterns.

    For non-CAD invoices, the tool retrieves and applies the exchange rate from the Bank of Canada API, ensuring accurate conversion to CAD based on the invoice date.
