Invoice processing in the United States
InvoiceHaven turns PDF, scanned and photographed US invoices into structured, reviewable Excel data, with USD (US$) handled natively.
A US business processes invoices in InvoiceHaven by uploading them, letting OCR and AI extraction capture the supplier, invoice number, dates, currency, subtotal, tax, total and line items, reviewing the flagged values, and exporting the result to Excel. InvoiceHaven is an AI-powered invoice-to-data platform for businesses in New Zealand, Australia and the United States.
What InvoiceHaven does for US invoices
- Reads PDF, JPG and PNG invoices, including scanned documents and phone photos.
- Detects US invoices from signals such as US addresses, ZIP codes and state names.
- Records the currency as USD and formats amounts as US$ in the app and in Excel.
- Extracts supplier, invoice number, invoice and due dates, subtotal, tax, total and line items.
- Preserves the tax label printed on the invoice — Sales Tax, State Sales Tax or another label — as the Tax Type in review and export.
- Checks tax and total arithmetic and flags possible duplicate invoices.
- Exports one or many invoices to a multi-sheet Excel workbook.
Sales Tax on US invoices
Unlike New Zealand and Australia, where invoices typically show GST, US invoices may show Sales Tax or State Sales Tax, and rates vary by state and locality. InvoiceHaven does not assume a rate or a tax type — it extracts the tax type, rate and amount as printed and verifies that subtotal plus tax equals the invoice total. In review and in the Excel export these appear as Tax Type, Tax Rate and Tax Amount, reflecting the source invoice.
What InvoiceHaven does not do with tax
InvoiceHaven does not calculate, file or advise on sales tax, and it does not determine which tax rate should apply to a transaction. It extracts the information printed on the invoice so it can be reviewed and exported.
The workflow
- Upload — add PDF, JPG or PNG invoices, or photograph one with a phone camera.
- Extract — OCR reads the pages and AI extraction fills the invoice fields and line items.
- Review — check flagged values, including currency and tax, and correct anything misread.
- Export — download the selected invoices as a multi-sheet Excel workbook.
Each step is walked through on how InvoiceHaven works, and the underlying reading step is covered on invoice OCR.
