How invoice-to-ERP extraction works in Lido

AP teams receive invoices as PDFs from dozens of vendors in different formats. Lido reads them all and produces the upload file your ERP needs.

1. Invoices arrive

PDFs land in a shared inbox, a watched folder, or get uploaded directly. Lido picks them up automatically.

2. Lido reads every invoice

AI extracts vendor name, invoice number, date, PO number, line items, unit prices, totals, tax, and GL codes from each PDF — regardless of layout.

3. Fields map to your template

Each extracted value goes into the exact column of your ERP upload sheet. You set the mapping once; Lido applies it to every invoice.

4. Upload sheet is ready

Download the completed file and import it into your ERP. Or connect Lido to your system and skip the download entirely.

What changes for your AP team with Lido

The manual keying loop

An AP clerk opens a PDF, finds the vendor name, types it into column A. Finds the PO number, types it into column B. Repeat for every field, every invoice, every day. One typo means a failed import and an hour of debugging.

The Lido approach

Drop the invoice batch into Lido. Every field is extracted and placed in the right column of your upload template. The file is ready to import before your first coffee is cold.
