AI Purchase Bill Scanner for GST Retail Shops
HisabLekha's purchase bill scanner uses OCR and AI extraction to read a photographed supplier bill, extract supplier and GST details, and suggest inventory matches with a similarity score for each line item, all reviewed and confirmed before the purchase is saved.
What does HisabLekha handle for this shop type?
Retyping every supplier bill into stock and GST records is slow and error-prone. HisabLekha's purchase bill scanner reads a photographed supplier bill (an uploaded photo works too; PDF bills are not supported), extracts the supplier's name, GSTIN, and line items, and suggests inventory matches for each item so a retailer reviews and confirms rather than typing from scratch.
Photograph a supplier bill with the device camera, or upload a photo of it; PDF bills are not supported.
Review the OCR-extracted supplier name and GSTIN before line items are matched; plans that include the extra checks also show an overall OCR confidence and flag risky fields such as a missing date or supplier.
Review each bill line item against a suggested inventory match, shown with a similarity score, and confirm, correct, or search inventory manually.
Keep an unmatched line item as a new product instead of accepting an incorrect match.
Confirm the reviewed matches to fill a purchase draft, then save the purchase so it updates stock and GST records.
Cancel the upload or rescan the bill if line items are missing or unreadable, rather than confirming an incomplete mapping.
How do fashion shop inventory models differ?
The sellable unit changes by shop type. This table shows which product attributes and workflow matter for each category.
| Shop type | Inventory model | Relevant workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Printed or clearly handwritten supplier bill | Photo captured with device camera | OCR extraction, then manual verification; an unreadable bill is refused |
| Known supplier, repeat SKUs | Existing supplier and inventory match | Suggested match with a similarity score for quick confirmation |
| New supplier or new product | No existing inventory match found | Fallback manual search or keep-as-new-product instead of a forced match |
| Multi-item bulk supplier bill | Several line items on one bill | Review each line item's mapping before saving the purchase |
When should a retailer verify the fit first?
- This page describes the purchase-bill scanning and review workflow; it does not claim a fixed OCR accuracy percentage, and every extracted field should be verified before confirming a bill.
- The workflow is for purchase and supplier bills; it does not extract or automate customer-facing sales billing.
- Bill photo quality, supplier bill formats, and language should be tested with real supplier bills before relying on this for daily purchase entry; an unreadable bill is refused with a request for a clearer photo.
- Plan scope for the AI bill scanner and its extra checks is shown on the pricing page; confirm it before rollout.
