The Azure AI Document Intelligence finder sends each document to Azure's ready-made invoice model and gives every value it finds — supplier, invoice number, dates, totals — and the line items, which fill the Line items table. Change the finder's model for receipts, identity documents, bank statements, cheques, contracts, payslips or your own custom model.
