# SQUEEZE 2 User Manual
Manual for getting started with Squeeze.
This manual is intended for end users in specialist departments, accounting and scanning workstations.

# Squeeze Invoice in your ERP system
DEXPRO Squeeze is connected to your ERP system and analyzes incoming invoices based on the invoice information and creditor master data from your system.
Below you will find the necessary steps for invoice processing in Squeeze.
The following input channels can be imported with Squeeze:
- Paper-based invoices (scanner)
- Invoices as email attachments in PDF format
- File system import (TIF, PDF)
**Work preparation**:
Paper invoices are prepared for digitization before import. The “barcode” method is used for this purpose. This serves to clearly separate invoices and their attachments.
To do this, a barcode with a sequential number is placed on the **first** page of each invoice document.
#
Example:
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755597764056.png)
#
If attachments are sent with the invoice, they must be separated from the invoice “visually.” To do this, a barcode is also placed on the first page of the attachment. This is the same type of barcode, the main difference being that no consecutive numbering is used here; instead, attachments are always marked with a “zero barcode.”
Example:
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755598391984.png)
This enables the system to clearly and reliably recognize where an invoice begins, which attachments are included, and where the end of a multi-page document is reached.
Each new sequential barcode represents a new, separate invoice.
Note: If barcodes of the same type are already on the invoice, e.g., because the supplier prints them themselves, this information must be covered with the barcode sticker or made unrecognizable by blacking it out (with a black pencil).
**Digital capture and evaluation of paper-based invoices:**
Paper documents can be scanned in batches using the document scanner provided after they have been labeled with the appropriate barcodes.
**Digital capture and evaluation of invoices as email attachments:**
The previously specified email inboxes are monitored by DEXPRO Squeeze and when an invoice arrives, it is imported into your ERP system.
Requirements for successful import:
- The invoice must be attached to an email in PDF format
- If the email has more than one attachment, these are added to a single file
**Content evaluation in Squeeze:**
DEXPRO Squeeze has all the creditor master data from your ERP system.
This information is synchronized daily and used for document capture.
The quality of the master data, such as supplier information, is essential for good automated invoice recognition.
Squeeze identifies the supplier based on IBAN, VAT ID, telephone numbers, email addresses, internet addresses, and other information.
The result is presented to users in the specialist department for validation of the reading results in the web client/your ERP system.

**The live tiles in detail:**
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755599959189.png)
NEW DOCUMENTS: Shows the number of documents currently in the import/worklist. The view cannot be opened; it is only used to show how many documents are currently at the beginning of the processing chain. When the system is operating normally, the information changes constantly, as the system usually imports new documents from copiers, scanners, or email inboxes and forwards them to the next stage.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755599996230.png)
IMAGE OPTIMIZATION: Shows the number of documents currently in image processing. The view cannot be opened.
Image processing checks the input format for necessary corrections, which is particularly relevant for scanned documents, as document processing has a significant impact on subsequent text recognition. During image processing, documents are straightened and minor spots and shadows are removed without significantly altering the character of the document.
For “electronic” documents (readable PDF files), image processing is automatically skipped if there are no embedded images in the PDF document.

BARCODE EXTRACTION:
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755600023176.png)
TEXT RECOGNITION: Shows the number of documents currently undergoing text recognition. The view cannot be opened.
Image processing is followed by text recognition. Depending on the size and optimization of the training data set, this is the stage that requires the most processing time.
Documents can usually “back up” in the processing chain at this point. If this happens frequently or to a significant extent, please contact your system administrator, as these processes can also be parallelized to achieve a balanced load/usage behavior.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755600061224.png)
CLASSIFICATION: Shows the number of documents currently in classification. The view cannot be opened.
Based on the recognized and/or evaluated text information, documents are compared with trained patterns and automatically assigned to a document type (invoice, delivery note, order).
If Squeeze is used without document classification, e.g., in pure incoming invoice extraction projects, the classification is skipped.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755600124086.png)
EXTRACTION: Shows the number of documents currently being extracted. The view cannot be opened.
Once the documents have been optimized, textually read, and classified, their contents are compared with the master data available in the company's ERP/financial accounting/CRM system and checked automatically where possible. The result is visible in the next step.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755600147915.png)
VALIDATION: Displays the number of documents awaiting validation. **This live tile can be opened with a simple left click and then displays the documents for manual validation in a chronologically sorted work list (queue).**
The validation tile always shows the current worklist of the team/department.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755600155575.png)
EXPORTED: Shows the number of documents currently being exported to your selected target system. This view cannot be opened. For information on the export structures, please refer to the project description/documentation.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755600169668.png)
BACKUP: Shows the total number of documents processed.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2025-08/image-1755602051561.png)
DLETED: Shows the total number of deleted documents

# Sqeeze Validation
# Guideline - Validation
This guide documents how a document should normally be documented.
#### 1. Opening the validation
"Validation" takes you to the main work area of the application. Here, the user checks and confirms the documents that have been read. Validation can be opened via the Squeeze item in the tab bar.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/image-1767353855450.png)
A new page opens showing all documents that Squeeze has processed so far and which now need to be validated, i.e. confirmed or corrected by the user.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/image-1767353963876.png)Clicking on a line opens the selected document so that it can be checked and confirmed.
#### 2. Overview of validation
The validation view is divided into four areas:
• index fields / processing area
• action register
• viewer
• position level
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/image-1767362931019.jpg)
#### 3. Example validation of a document
Now the actual validation of the extracted document begins.
During validation, you usually perform two tasks:
• Checking the field values recognised by Squeeze. Has all the information from the processed document been read correctly?
• Correcting incorrect field values and adding missing ones.
The user interface supports this activity by colour-coding the fields. For example, empty mandatory fields are marked in red to indicate that the document is not yet valid.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/image-1713362544386.png)
Sind alle Felder gefüllt und bestätigt wird der Validierungsbutton grün und das Dokument kann als valide bestätigt werden. Der Beleg wird gespeicht und an die Schnittstellen geschickt. Danach wird der nächste Beleg geladen.
[](https://docs.squeeze.one/uploads/images/gallery/2024-04/image-1713362602334.png)
Werden Fehler in der Schnittstelle gemeldet, wird der Mitarbeiter direkt darüber informiert.
In der Regel handelt es sich hierbei um Plausibilitätsprüfungen, die fehl geschlagen sind oder die Schnittstelle meldet einen Fehler zurück, welcher dann durch manuelle Eingabe zu korrigieren ist. Z.B. „Buchung nicht möglich, Periode geschlossen“.
Wurden die Daten korrigiert, kann erneut „validiert“ werden.
