How can I properly detect decimal and date values (regional settings issue)

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by 256
Hello,
 
I need to automatically process the invoices sent to an email address. I have played with AI Builder's "Document Processing" model, just to realize that my supplier send their invoices in two languages, using two different regional settings that lead to different decimal and date separators.
Because the settings for the decimal and dates are at the "model level" not at the "collection" level, the results are poor.
 
Does anyone have an idea on how to overcome this issue?
 
One idea would be train two models, one for "comma separator" (or RO language) and one for "dot separator" (or EN language) and first I have to detect the language then in the second step to process the document depending on the "regional settings" detected.
But this idea was broken by another supplier that on the same language will use different decimal/date separators. ☹️
 
So. could I do something that will be able to "generally" detect proper decimals and dates?
 
Kind Regards,
Lucian

    Hi, 
     
    I am having the exact same issue-- my Document Processing model is struggling to pick up "," and "." differences in numeric values. Like above, I am also trying to process invoices in different currencies (USD, Pesos, Euros). I thought about writing a script in Excel to /100 or *100, but even within the same document sometimes the model gets it right and sometimes it doesn't. 
     
    Any suggestions?
