Document capture and matching
From scanned document to controlled purchasing decision

Frequently asked questions
Can I use these procurement tools without an ERP system?
Yes. The tools are designed for browser-based checks using manually entered values, CSV files, Excel files, PDFs or images where supported. They can supplement spreadsheets and ERP workflows without requiring a FormatForge account.
Which languages can the procurement OCR tool read?
The multilingual OCR tool supports English, Greek, Hindi, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch, including mixed-language recognition with up to three selected languages. OCR output should always be reviewed before it is used for purchasing, receiving, tax or payment decisions.
What is three-way matching?
Three-way matching compares the purchase order, goods receipt and supplier invoice. It helps identify invoiced quantities that were not ordered or received, price differences and records that require approval before payment.
Are supplier analytics included?
Yes. Spend analysis, supplier performance scoring, supplier price history, vendor risk, purchase trends and procurement KPI tools are included in this collection.
Does FormatForge automatically post data into SAP, Oracle or Dynamics?
No. The current tools provide analysis and exportable results but do not directly post transactions into ERP systems. Review exported data and follow your organisation's approval and import controls.
Important operational note
Browser-based OCR, matching and calculators are decision-support tools. Scanned text can contain recognition errors, and supplier or inventory decisions may depend on contracts, tolerances, tax rules and internal controls that a general-purpose tool cannot know. Always verify product codes, quantities, units, prices, taxes and approval status before receiving goods, posting an invoice, releasing payment or importing data into an ERP.
