You can run the APT VScan task to create a batch of invoices
from the sample images that are provided with Datacap Accounts Payable. You can also set
up an APT VScan task to scan images from a scanner or MFP device.
About this task
The APT VScan task uses Datacap Desktop to select a job and
run a virtual scan to bring the invoice images into Datacap Accounts Payable. Datacap Accounts Payable picks up the images
from the \APT\images\Input folder and creates
a Datacap batch
of document images for processing. Datacap Accounts Payable assigns a batch ID
and creates a folder on Datacap where
the documents are stored.

Datacap Accounts Payable retrieved
the images from the Datacap\APT\images\Input folder
and created a Datacap batch
of the document images to be processed. Datacap assigned a batch
ID and created a uniquely numbered folder with the name of the batch
ID in the Datacap\APT\batches folder. This folder
contains all of the document image-processing results for this batch
of invoices, including the newly created rrsvscan.xml file.
- Click Run Pending to scan the images
for the next batch of invoices.
- When you complete all of your batches, close the APT
Demo VScan - Datacap Desktop window.
