The button provides user with the functionality to register the changes he as made to the fields of the Processed Document.

If the user deems the processed data of the document to be accurate and want to avoid any further editing in the data, He can make it permanent by using the Approve button. None of the User types are allowed to edit an approved document.

To avoid abundance of fields of various types to be shown at one place to the user, the field has been divided into multiple categories. These categories fields can be viewed by visiting their respective Detailed View Tabs.

Configuration Settings

For easy and smooth User experience, Klearstack has been designed to be as configurable as possible, where user can alter multiple settings as per his needs.
As of now, KlearStack offers following configuration options :
Fields Switch, Label and Required :
KlearStack allows user to choose between a large variety of Fields to be shown for their documents by toggling the checkbox, For example, Just for Invoices there are 75+ fields available. Each of the field comes with a predefined name, but is changable in the configuration settings by editing its User defined Name. User can also make any field as a required field, i.e. every time before Saving a document, user will be notified for required fields without any value.
All Document types supported by KlearStack offer these settings and can be found in Labels and Notification option in Settings Menu. Each of the Document types has its own Tab for easier manoeuvre.

Selected Modules:
KlearStack as of now supports 6 different types of documents as mentioned earlier, But not every user needs all the modules to be enabled, For example, an Insurance company doesn’t need Document type Purchase Orders, and hence can be disabled. In selected Modules settings, User can configure modules or document types he needs by enabling or disabling them accordingly.
Selected Tabs:
KlearStack as of now supports 13 different Detailed-View Tabs, But not every user have requirement of those tabs, For example, Shipment Tab is only important if User wants to process Entry Summary type of Invoices or Invoices with Shipment details which is very specific need case, and not every User has need for it. User can configure Tabs he needs by enabling or disabling them accordingly.
Image Type:
KlearStack support Two different types of Document processing, one for speed and one for Accuracy. Users can choose the type of processing which suits their needs. For example, a User processes limited number of documents per day, but accuracy is more important for him, Image type Accuracy suits his need more than Speed, while for a User, who processes a lot of invoices per day and accuracy needs are not that much high, Speed image type is a better option.
Download Format:
KlearStack offers multiple options to download processed Documents like Excel Workbook, Excel Sheet or Json. User can choose whichever default format he seems fit for him.
Quickbooks Integration:
QuickBooks integration to the Account Tab of Detailed-View of KlearStack can be controlled from this Tab of Configuration settings. There are three options to choose from, QuickBooks Enterprise, QuickBooks online and Off.
Tax System:
KlearStack is a global app and we support both Indian and Non Indian tax Systems. Tax system tab provides two configuration, Indian Tax System and Non-Indian Tax system, which user can choose as per is requirement.
Notification Settings:
All the notifications like warnings, alerts, popups etc, can be customized in this tab. This section provides User with option to enable or disable certain key notifications.
Accuracy Threshold:
KlearStack lets User set Accuracy threshold for High Accuracy, Hence User get indicator color based on that and can decide which processed document is of high accuracy vice-versa.
Push API Status:
The tabs helps user to toggle Push API switch, which enables or disable this based on his/her needs.
Classes:
This tab helps User with :
User either can manually enter Classes or Upload a CSV file. These classes will be Used for Account Classification in QuickBooks Integration.
User can check/uncheck the box which allows User to enter his own classes in Account tab directly without uploading or entering Here. If unchecked, QuickBooks will throw error for external class.

User Feedback or Retraining KlearStack

Working on User feedback and retraining our proprietary model is one of the most important aspect of KlearStack app. If a User feels that any processed document field/fields value or table is not up-to mark, He can update it by using a simple draw method. This change in data goes to our Backend and then after carefully monitoring the issue, we retrain our model to fit every User’s needs perfectly and difference in results can be observed in just one month.
Correcting a single value field:
KlearStack allows User to edit most of the field values of Unapproved Documents. This can easily be done Using built in OCR method present at the top of every editable field in form of a green square with a cursor on it. Users can click on green square button against that particular field and select the area on invoice for the respective information. After selection, once he leaves the mouse, entire text selected automatically replaces the old text with the new one and then save the document.
Deleting Table or a row of Table:
If User find any row of the table or entire table to be not up-to mark and delete it, He can do so by clicking on the delete button of the respective row. To delete the entire table, User can use the delete button at the top of the table.
Draw/Redraw the Table:
If a User wishes to draw/redraw a table he can do so by clicking on Select table area button in Tables Tab which will be visible if there is no table present.
User can create a whole table by selecting “Select Table Area” red square. Select area on invoice with full table as its boundary.
After full table selection, select each header of the columns by scraping column name (user can select all or any columns depending upon his own wish) from invoice. In the Mapping option, “Description” & “Total” are compulsory mappings. It will not be possible to create table with these two necessary mapping fields. Once done, click on “Send Headers” and all the data of table is shown to user in table form.
One more thing to keep in mind is if Supplier name of the Document is already trained, User will be able to delete the rows or entire table, but retraining for table will be disabled.
User Management
Admin can create different users with this option by adding username, password and role in the company. Below are the three roles for the user:
Admin: They can create and edit other user roles, can upload and approve the invoices. They can view and edit all invoices.
Approver: They can upload and approve the invoices but cannot create/edit user roles. They can view and edit all invoices.
Creator: They can only upload the invoices and save it but cannot approve the invoices. A Creator can view and edit only the invoices uploaded by them.
Admin type user role also possesses the ability to make any other user Active or Inactive by toggling the status button in User management settings. One thing that is not allowed is Deleting any user because if done so, the files uploaded by that user can’t be accessed anymore.
Also through User management, Admin can:
Change Username for any User.
Change role of any User.
Change password of any User.
Change Password
If any User wishes to change his/her password he can do so by navigating to Change Password option present in settings. This part of KlearStack is similar to any other Change Password, User have to enter old password and then New password twice to change it.
If User has forgotten his password, He can request Admin to reset his password for him. Don’t worry, every User’s privacy is secured. Admin is allowed to change any User’s password but he can’t see any old passwords.
Import Accounts
This feature allows User to upload new or append to old xls or xlsx files storing Supplier and other account details which will be Used in Account sections and for integration with QuickBooks Services.
Supplier Account Master: User can upload or append the existing file (xls or xlsx) by selecting this option. File has a specific format which includes data like Supplier#, Account#, Supplier name, VAT reg# etc. It is used to provide details about supplier.
Charts of Account: User can upload or append the existing file (xls or xlsx) by selecting this option. File has a specific format which includes data like Account#, Account name, Description. It is used to provide details about accounts.
Rule Engine
The Rule engine is intended to give the user the ability to filter out documents depending on conditions set by the user, i.e., the user can set up to three conditions to correlate fields of any two document types using operators, and he will also have a set of actions to take if a Rule succeeds or fails.
Instead of relying on manual labour to sift through each document, this feature allows the User to construct his own filter. This saves a great deal of time and work while also enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
Rule Engine consists of various modules, we will go through each component one by one.
Rule Engine Landing Page: When user clicks on the Rule Engine option in Settings list, He is routed to the Rule Engine landing page, i.e., Rule List. This page shows all the active or inactive rules with Rule name, Description, Status and creation date along with some default actions in a tabular form.
In Rule Engine Component, on every page User has access to the settings icon, which makes traversing in-between different settings smooth and easier.
When working with a system with lots of layers, like KlearStack’s, having interactive Path option to go on any desired layer back and forth makes it a lot easy for User to traverse between different views.
This button provides user with option to logout from the KlearStack UI directly from the Rule engine, avoiding going back to dashboard.
This button provides User with functionality to create a new rule in the KlearStack system. He can either make the rule active while creating or save it in inactive state.
This Part of the Rule Engine Landing page shows all the active or Inactive rules, along with their description, status and creation date.
In the Rule List table. User has access to some actions to help him interact with the rules already present in the table. These actions are:
Edit Rule – This action helps user in editing an existing inactive rule. Only inactive rules are allowed to be edited. When user clicks on this icon, He is routed to the edit view where he can view all the rule details and make it active if needed.
Copy Rule – This action facilitates user in copying a rule as it, which is available to User for further editing, Using this feature, User can make newer or modified version of any active rule, which he was unable to edit.
Delete Rule – Using this Button, User is allowed to delete any active or Inactive rule. Active rules can’t be disabled, hence the only way to stop the execution of that rule is to delete it. This function along with multiple rule deletion can be accessed via, the checkbox present in the rule list table. Using it User can delete one or more rules at once.
Create New Rule Page
When the User clicks on Create new Rule, He lands on Create a new rule page. User is allowed to set up to 3 conditions to match his requirements. User is provided with multiple options to work with, We will go through everything the Create New Rule Page has to offer.
This Text box helps user to Enter the name for the New Rule. This name will be used everywhere when referencing this rule. The Rule Name has a character limit of 30.
This Text box helps user to enter a customized error message when the rule fails on any document. This helps User getting a clear understanding of what it means when this rule fails.
Using this button, User can either Enable or disable any rule when creating it. Once the rule is enabled and saved, it can not be disabled again and is available as read only. Disabled rules can be enabled by clicking on the rule to view rule details.
Using this Box, user can enter any data which he feels describes the following rule the best as per his understanding. The main purpose of this feature is to help User keep track of what the original purpose of the rule is.
Using this dropdown, User can choose on which Document type he wishes to apply this specific rule. Any rule can only be applied on any one specific document type. In the dropdown User gets to choose between all 6 document types KlearStack currently supports.
In this dropdown, User chooses the document status to whom the rule will be applied once it is enabled. User gets three options here:
Processed – When User choose this status, the rule is applied to every document of the specified type that comes for processing. For example, If the document type is Invoices, every time User will upload an Invoice for processing, the rule will be applied on it.
Approved – When Approved is chosen, The respective rule is only applied to the documents that User approves. For example, if the document type is Invoices, Every invoice that user approves, this rule will be applied on it..
Deleted – When User chooses Deleted, the rule is applied to the document when it is deleted by the User, He won’t be able to see the rule status, but the respective action will be executed. For example, for document type Invoice the action is set to Email the User in this rule, whenever User deletes an invoice that passes the condition, He will be notified on the mail he has provided.
Through this dropdown, User can choose How the following conditions will be implied when the rule is applied to any document, and thus the action to take will be decided. Here the user gets to choose between 2 options :
Any – When Any is selected, if any one of the conditions stands True, the rule is considered to be passed and the action is executed.
All – When All is selected, for rule to be passed, all the conditions should stand True, i.e. If all the following conditions are True, then only the action will be executed.
Before we go into Conditions, let’s have a look at how conditions function. This will help the User understand the options available to them. When discussing conditions in general, we require three things: value 1, a comparison operator, and value 2. For the sake of example, pretend value1 is “User,” operator is “starts with,” and value2 is “U.” When evaluating this condition, the result is True, however if value1 is 5, operator is “equals,” and value2 is 3, the result is False.
For conditions, when using KlearStack’s rule engine, the user selects a document type and a field to act as value 1, then selects an operator, and value2 can be another field of any document type or a text box for the user to enter value. When the rule is run, it determines if the weather circumstances are True or False.
We’re now ready to go deeper into the conditions and the selections available to the user.
This Text box helps user to Enter the name for the New name. This name will be used everywhere when referencing this condition. The Condition Name has a character limit of 30.
Through this dropdown, User chooses the document type for the First value of the conditions. User can choose between three different document types available to him :
Invoices
Receipts and
Purchase Orders
In this dropdown, User is provided with fields as options to choose for first value of the Condition. The Options depends upon the selection of App 1. The list of fields based on App1’s type are :
Invoices – If in App 1, User chooses Invoices then as fields he is given these as options :
PO Number
Invoice Number
Invoice Date
Supplier Name
Customer Name
Total
Purchase Orders – If in App 1, User chooses Purchase Orders then as fields he is given these as options :
PO Number
Order Date
Supplier Name
Customer Name
Total
Receipts – If in App 1, User chooses Receipts then as fields he is given these as options :
Receipt Number
Receipt Date
Supplier Name
Customer Name
Total
As of now, KlearStack supports 14 different types of operators, we will go through each one of them and see what they do:
Equal to (=) – Using this operator, User can compare the first value i.e. App1’s field to the to the second value to check if they are equal or not.
Contains – Using this operator. User can check if the second value is a sub-string of the first value, i.e. second value comes in first value. For example, “eat” is a sub-string of “Creator”.
Not Contains – Using this operator, User can check if the second value is not a sub-string of the first value, i.e. second value doesn’t come in first value. For example, “fast” is not a substring of “haste”.
starts with – Using this operator, User can check If the first value starts with the second value, For example, “Faster” starts with “Fas”.
ends with – Using this operator, User can check if the First value ends with the second value, For example. “Headphone” ends with “phone”.
fuzzy match – Using this operator, User can compare the similarity between first and the second value, if the similarity is above the threshold, the condition stands true.
Pattern match – Using this operator, User can if First and second value have any matching pattern or sequence of tokens.
Is Empty – Using this operator, User can check if the the first value is empty or not.
Between – This operator is used when the first field is of type Date. Using this operator user can check if first value lies between the user provided values or not.
Future Date – Using this operator user can compare first value with the second value to check if the second one is a future date or not.
Past Date – Using this operator user can compare first value with the second value to check if the second one is a past date or not.
Is Today – Using this operator, User can check if the the date field selected as first Value has the same value as Today’s date or not.
Greater Than ( > ) – Using this operator, User can numerically compare first and second value, condition will return true, if the first value is greater than the second value.
Less Than ( < ) – Using this operator, User can numerically compare first and second value, condition will return true, if the first value is less than the second value.
Using the Parameter dropdown User can choose weather he want to manually enter the second value or select a document type and its respective field instead.
Equal to Field – Using this parameter User can opt to choose document type and its respective field to act as a second value.
Equal to Exact Value – Using this parameter, User can opt to manually enter the second value for comparison in the condition.
In this part, User can enter the second value for the comparison in the condition based on the parameter selected. The second value can be provided by two ways based on the parameter as explained in the above explanation.
Case 1 – In first case, User can opt to select document type and it’s respective field, as can be seen in the Condition one in the above image.
Case – 2 – In second case, User can opt to enter the value manually, as can be seen in the condition 2 in the above image.
This Text box helps user to Enter a customized error message for the specific condition. This error message can help User to understand why the following conditions have failed or What it means when the condition fails. This error message will be visible in Rule Result tab of Detailed – View of that Document given the condition fails.
In this section, User can choose what action to take, if all or any of the conditions pass, i.e. the rule passes. User is provided with 3 options to choose from :
Pass this Rule – When User opts for this Action, Whenever the rule passes, the rule result for that document is set as Passed and can be viewed in the Rule Result tab of Detailed-View of that Document.
Execute another Rule – When User opts for this Action to be taken, he is provided with a new dropdown to choose an existing rule, which will execute if this rule passes on the document.
#Note – For another rule execution, in the dropdown, User is only provided with rules for whom, action is not set for execution of another rule. This is done to prevent chaining, If not done, system could get stuck in a deadlock.

Correlation Between Fields and Operator
KlearStack’s rule engine currently support 14 different operators, but not all operators are available for use with every field. This has been done to prevent creation of non-meaning full or error causing rules. There are currently 4 types of field supported in the Rule engine and while some operations are common among the three categories, there are some operations which are available to use with a single category of fields.
For a better Demonstration lets see the categories and supported operations.

Things to Keep in Mind when Working With Rule Engine
Once a Rule is enabled, it can’t be disabled, it can only be deleted by the User.
To view or edit Rule Details, User can click on the Rule name in the Rule Landing Page.
If User wants to modify an enabled or active rule, He can use a roundabout, i.e. He can copy the rule modify the new one, make it active and then remove the old one.
Rule Engine is still in its Development Phase, and will only improve in the future and a lot of new feature are on their way.

Working with KlearStack

In this part of Documentation, we will describe the steps a new User to take to get started with processing his documents for field extraction:
Login into KlearStack 6.0.6 by given URL and Username/Password sent through mail.
Change the Password for Security reason under “Change Password” tab.
Go to Invoices tab and Click on “Add New” button to upload the Document.
Select Documents in pdf, jpg, tiff or bmp formats and click on “Open” to upload. You can choose single/bulk upload.
After processing the Document, it is displayed on the Invoices home page, into its module/Document type along with the extracted fields.
Click on the Document to open the Detailed-View.
Left pane of the screen displays the image of the original document and Right pane displays all the extracted data.
Validate all the fields and edit the values, if needed.
Save or Approve the document and click on back arrow button to go back to the main menu page.
Once the invoice gets approved, in the Invoices home page, a green tick appears near Document reference number like Invoice number. This implies that the document is approved and is available to download.
User can avail the “Download” option to export the results into excel spreadsheet only for the approved invoices.

Notes

When using KlearStack, User should keep some key points in mind to avoid any confusion or ambiguity:
Accuracy for machine generated invoices is higher than scanned and handwritten documents.
KlearStack 6.0 currently supports English language only.
All the validations and errors messages will be shown for user convenience.
Accuracy is a factor of quality of scanned invoices. For 250 DPI clean scan, around 65-70% accuracy is seen in the beginning. The accuracy will go up as we retrain our AI/ML models. We retrain our models on a continuous basis and deploy newer models as those are retrained. During trial period, we can deliver 93.5% accuracy within 1 month. Likewise, we will continue to improve going forward as well.
KlearStack support data extraction from a multiple page invoice.
Upload only one file per invoice. One file should not contain multiple invoices. E.g. KlearStack don’t support the scenario when page 1 and 2 belong to invoice 1001 of Vendor 1 but pages 3, 4 and 5 belong to invoice B123 of Vendor2. The user needs to ensure there is one file per invoice – whether it is a single page or multi-page invoice.
KlearStack support PDF, JPG, BMP and TIFF file formats. It also supports ZIP file that contains any of the 4 supported file formats (PDF, JPG, BMP and TIFF).
A single file (PDF, JPG, BMP or TIFF are supported. Although multi-page invoices are either in PDF or TIFF format) can contain one invoice with multiple pages of the same invoice. E.g. invoice number 1001 from Vendor1 has many line items that do not fit into 1 page. In such a case, the invoice would extend beyond one page. However, all the subsequent pages will belong to the same invoice # 1001 from Vendor1. The subsequent pages will not belong to either a different invoice from the same supplier or a different invoice from a different supplier.
While uploading zip batch file, KlearStack will process invoices with single page on priority.
