Kofax Transformation Modules Invoice Pack – Getting Started Guide

This setting is useful in demonstration scenarios where the invoices being used
are somewhat older. For example, if you have a batch of invoices which all date
back to June 2003, setting the reference date to June 29

th

, 2003 will make the

system treat the given date as the “current” dates. Thus, allowing historical
invoices to be processed as intended.

Configuration

There are three ways of populating this attribute:

ƒ

Enter an empty value (i.e. “”), which will set the reference date to the
current date

ƒ

Enter the word “today,” which will set the reference date to the current
date.

ƒ

Enter a specific date such as “17.10.2001” following the format
“dd.mm.yyyy”.

X

To configure Reference Date

3

4

6

Test your changes and modify as necessary.

Allow Empty Field

By default, invoice date must exist in order for the document to be valid. If this
is not required, then changing this setting will allow a document without an
invoice date to be processed as valid.

Configuration

This setting has only two valid values, either “true,” which indicates that the
field is not mandatory or “false,” which indicates that the data must be
captured for the document to be valid. If empty an value is provided, then the
attribute will default to “false.”
