Troubleshooting Indexing Errors and Issues


  1. A second page is indexed as a separate document when it should have been appended to the original. When this occurs, the processor should search for both images and then combine them. After combining the two into a single invoice, the extra page(s) should be deleted. See the document titled "Combining Documents" for more details on how to perform this task.

  2. A document is inadvertently appended to the previous document but it is actually a different document. When this occurs the document that was incorrectly appended should be rescanned and indexed under the correct document index. The original document that contains an incorrectly appended page should be searched for and the additional page deleted from that document.

  3. A document is indexed incorrectly and autofills with incorrect information. It is rare that this will happen due to the length of the field that is used for indexing. When it does occur in an invoice, the invoice that was incorrectly indexed will be found as a part of the exception report. The check request document does not route to the approvers unless there is an invoice image attached. We run an exception report from FIS on a daily basis to determine which check requests show that no invoices have been scanned to accompany them.

  4. Pages are skipped during the scanning of a multiple page document. The pages in a multiple-page invoice are numbered and the processor checks the page numbers to insure that all pages have been scanned at the time of indexing. If a page is found to be missing, either that page or the entire invoice is sent to be rescanned and is re-indexed to correct this issue.

  5. A single page invoice is skipped during imaging. This is found in the exception report described above in #3. The invoice is pulled from the original batch, rescanned and indexed.

  6. The Processor hits the Stop key in the middle of indexing a multiple page invoice. The file has to be reopened. The additional pages are indexed. At this point they are separate images as described in #1 above. The two separate images should be pulled up and combined. After combining the two into a single invoice, the extra page(s) should be deleted.

  7. Poor image quality. This will be identified at the time of indexing. The image should be deleted from OnBase. The original should then be pulled from the batch, rescanned and re-indexed.
