Emburse Professional has released an enhancement to its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality that improves how vendors are identified and mapped during invoice upload.

Improved OCR Vendor Matching and Mapping
For CertifyAP customers, this update increases the accuracy and flexibility of vendor identification, reduces manual corrections, and gives administrators more control over OCR matching parameters. The result is faster invoice processing, improved data integrity, and fewer vendor-related errors.
What has changed:
The OCR engine now evaluates both vendor name and vendor address when determining a match, rather than relying solely on the name.
Administrators can now configure a Vendor Match Threshold to control how closely OCR data must match an existing vendor record. The default threshold is 85%, but Administrators can adjust it by contacting Emburse Support.
The enhancement builds on the existing Invoice OCR Mapping capability, which automatically links recognized fields, such as invoice date, due date, amount, currency, and invoice number, to their corresponding fields in Emburse Professional.
Previous behaviour:
Vendor matching required an exact 100% match on the vendor name, which could cause mismatches when invoices included minor variations (for example, “Acme LLC” vs. “Acme Inc.”).
Rollout schedule:
This update is immediately available to all CertifyAP customers.
