Working with Document Inbound by Simova

Document Inbound by Simova is designed to control all external document input into the DMS via the inbound list(s). Various assignment and manual review functions can be controlled by employees, and there is the option of a general logging of all incoming documents.

Documents can be returned via barcode labels, directly printed barcodes or QR codes via the inbound lists. Return is also possible with metadata in the file name. Return can be done automatically or by visual inspection in the inbound list. Barcodes generated from Business Central are acknowledged upon return.

The app allows documents with barcodes to be split in multiple ways. The splitting of documents is possible both automatically and manually. Automatic splitting of documents can be done either from the Document Inbound - Document Import / Split Bot job queue, where documents are automatically imported as they pass through the job queue and then split based on the configuration, or from the inbound list using the created configuration. In the manual alternative, a document is manually uploaded to the inbound list and also split manually.

Documents can also be assigned but there is a distinction between barcode assignment and filename assignment. Barcode assignment matches the recognized barcode with the barcode input table and stores the document in the linked Business Central record. Filename assignment works with configurable placeholders and uses recognized values in the file name of the imported documents to define the document and assign it to the Business Central record.
