# Read an invoice

An invoice or receipt as a line-item table, with the totals checked

## How to use

In Minda, type /invoice in the AI chat, then what you want.
It reads the page on screen.
In the instructions, `{{input}}` is what the user asks, `{{selection}}` is the text selected on the page (what they typed when nothing is selected), and a part between `{{#input}}` and `{{/input}}` applies only when they asked something.

## Instructions

Extract this invoice or receipt (the page, or the file or picture I attached) into tables.{{#input}} Also: {{input}}{{/input}}
First the header: vendor, invoice number, issue date, due date, currency, buyer.
Then the line items with columns: Description, Quantity, Unit price, Discount, Tax rate, Line total.
Then check the maths: the line totals plus tax and shipping against the stated total, and show any difference. Copy numbers exactly as printed, and write "not shown" instead of guessing.
