Patent number: 11416858Abstract: A method and apparatus are herein disclosed for allowing suppliers to generate an invoice from a purchase order without requiring them to log in or pre-register with a networked application. Implementation is provided by having a first user provide a first document to a networked application. An electronic notification is dispatched to a receiver for the first document with a unique link to a data entry page within the networked application. The data entry page is sandboxed with limited functionality within the networked application, but accepts data from the receiver to be sent directly into the first user's system.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: COUPA SOFTWARE INCORPORATEDInventors: Donna Wilczek, Gabriel Perez, Robert Bernshteyn, Raja Hammoud, David Williams

Patent number: 10354000Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises determining, that a first document corresponds to a particular template that provides field specification data for identifying one or more fields from a document; generating a first electronic validation form as a graphical user interface from the first document using the particular template; sending a second notification of the first electronic validation form via email to the sender device, the notification comprising a first option for confirming invoice data in the first electronic validation form, at least some of the invoice data inline or as an attachment, and a second option for updating the invoice data in the first electronic validation form; uploading, in response to a selection of the first option, the invoice data into an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system; causing, in response to a selection of the second option, presentation of the first electronic validation form by the sender device.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Coupa Software IncorporatedInventors: Donna Wilczek, Gabriel Perez, Robert Bernshteyn, Raja Hammoud, David Williams

Patent number: 10007654Abstract: A method and apparatus for form processing is provided, requiring little to no data entry. Upon receiving an electronic notification containing a form, a validation server extracts an electronic contact address from the electronic notification. The validation server then applies a template associated with the sender's electronic contact address to a document to extract information necessary to generate an electronic form comprising machine parsable data. The sender is then granted access and prompted to validate the electronic form. The sender entity validates the electronic form by making any necessary changes or revisions and by submitting the editable web form. The form's parsable content is then stored directly as data in a database. In some embodiments, the validation server may accept the electronic validation with additional revision information. In these embodiments, the revision information may be applied to future forms received from the sender.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Coupa Software IncorporatedInventors: Donna Wilczek, Gabriel Perez, Robert Bernshteyn, Raja Hammoud, David Williams

Publication number: 20160092423Abstract: A method and apparatus for form processing is provided, requiring little to no data entry. Upon receiving an electronic notification containing a form, a validation server extracts an electronic contact address from the electronic notification. The validation server then applies a template associated with the sender's electronic contact address to an OCRed document to extract information necessary to generate an electronic form comprising machine parsable data. The sender is then granted access and prompted to validate the electronic form. The sender entity validates the electronic form by making any necessary changes or revisions and by submitting the editable web form. The form's parsable content is then stored directly as data in a database. In some embodiments, the validation server may accept the electronic validation with additional revision information.
