40.6 Processing
40.6.1 Overview ¶
The Processing page controls the pace and robustness of the background processing as well as the handling of problematic files.
Program options, Processing page
40.6.2 Pace and limits ¶
| Setting |
Meaning |
| Check interval (seconds) |
Interval between two checks of the monitored folders; the countdown appears in the status bar (see chapter 7.2.4) |
| Pause between files (seconds) |
Optional wait time after each processed file - e.g. to go easy on slow network drives or printers |
| File timeout without progress (minutes, 0 = off) |
If processing a file makes no progress for that long (e.g. a hanging email or print call), the file is logged as an error and skipped. Regular wait times (dynamic attachments, send pause) count as progress. |
40.6.3 Time window ¶
Limit processing to a time window: processing only runs within the given times (from/to) and weekdays. Outside the window the program waits; new files are caught up at the next window.
40.6.4 Filing of problematic files ¶
For three cases, a target folder can be configured to which affected files are moved - the inbox folder stays clean and nothing gets lost:
| Case |
Option |
| Files with errors |
Move files with errors to: … |
| Files without a match |
Move files without a filter match to: … |
| Files without invoice data |
Move files without invoice data to: … (additionally: log errors) |
40.6.5 Duplicate handling ¶
| Option |
Effect |
| Skip new files with already processed invoice data as duplicates |
Recognizes e.g. a re-exported or copied PDF of the same invoice by invoice number, invoice date, and seller, and skips it. The check does not apply during catch-up with “process already processed files again”. |
| Treat moved files as already known |
A file moved by a task is not processed again at its new location if that location is monitored as well |
