Can I Compare Data from Two PDFs Like a Purchase Order and an Invoice?

Asked by CuriousCoder42
I'm looking to confirm whether it's feasible to compare two unstructured documents, specifically a Purchase Order and an Invoice. I know that text extraction can be done on both documents, but I'm curious if there's a way to compare their data and spot any discrepancies between them.

The short answer is no, not without some programming. You'd need a custom solution to understand the content properly. Even then, it wouldn't guarantee 100% accuracy. But don't get discouraged, there are tools like SearchAI Assist that can help!

You should be able to tackle this with Document Intelligence along with the Azure OpenAI service. First, extract the document data using Document Intelligence, and then use GPT-4o for the comparison through Azure. If you prefer a no-code approach, you can use Logic Apps to orchestrate everything! Check out the Microsoft tutorials for help on setting it up.

Have you checked out Egnyte's document comparison features? They let you compare a file with its previous versions or different files, highlighting the differences. It could be exactly what you need for tracking changes accurately.

There's also a new agent orchestration feature in Foundry. You could set it up with two agents to extract the data, one for each document type, and then a third one to handle the comparison.
