Abstract:
1. A machine-implemented method of reconciling data from an imaged business document, the method comprising: scanning a business document with a scanner to create a business document image; extracting a set of data from the business document image using optical character recognition to create a set of optical character recognition extracted data, the set of optical character recognition extracted data including at least one optical character recognition extracted data field; comparing the at least one optical character recognition extracted data field with data from a business information management system; automatically matching, based on the comparison, a set of business information management data to the at least one optical character recognition extracted data field to create a set of matched business information management data; retrieving the set of matched business information management data from the business information management system; assigning, based on the automatic matching, the retrieved set of matched business information management data to the at least one optical character recognition extracted data field to create a set of assigned data, the set of assigned data including the at least one optical character recognition extracted data field and the retrieved set of matched business information management data; displaying the business document image in a business document image pane generated on a display; displaying the set of optical character recognition extracted data in an optical character recognition data pane generated on the display; displaying the retrieved set of matched business information management data in a business information management data pane generated on the display; moving the set of assigned data from the business information management data pane to the optical character recognition data pane, wherein the business document image, the optical character recognition extracted data, and the business information management data are displayed simultaneously in a window of the display; validating the assignment of the set of business information management data to the at least one optical character recognition extracted data field to create a validated set of assigned data; and updating the business information management system with the validated set of assigned data.
