Process flow

To run the Bill of Lading Digitization process in attended mode from the RPA Assistant, you must locate the BillOfLadingDigitization process among the published processes listed in the RPA Assistant app and click Run on that specific process.

When the Bill of Lading Digitization flow is run, these actions in the RPA are processed in the background:

  1. First, the process checks if the directories and log file are both created in the configuration folder. The directories added are named Failure, Logs, and Success.
  2. The RPA checks if there is any PDF file in the configuration folder and starts processing them.
  3. The process then analyzes the files and extracts the Bill of Lading number, page numbers, and content.
    • If the PDF file contains more than one Bill of Lading number, the flow calls a script to split the PDF file content into the different Bill of Lading documents, and sends each of them to IDM.
    • If the PDF file only contains a single Bill of Lading number, the flow sends that single Bill of Lading document to IDM.
  4. If the process succeeds, the flow moves the document from the configuration folder to the newly created Success directory, otherwise it moves the document to the Failure directory.
  5. The flow rechecks if there is any PDF file remaining in the configuration folder and proceeds with them.
  6. After all files are processed, a notification is triggered to the configured user or group regarding the status flow. The log is completed simultaneously.
    Note: The status of the flow is sent through the notifications in the user's Infor OS Portal inbox section.
