Systems and methods to associate invoice data with a corresponding original invoice copy in a stack of invoices

摘要

A system and method for associating documents includes providing a plurality of scanned documents of different types and identifying a document type for each scanned document by comparing a determined pattern for each scanned document to known document patterns. Metadata values are extracted from each scanned document using metadata labels, and each scanned document is identified by using extracted metadata values. A stored electronic record is associated with each scanned document by employing the extracted metadata values such that a relationship between the stored electronic record and the associated scanned document is determined and stored.
