How to bulk upload files via ApprovalMax Capture

This is how you bulk upload files and create requests via ApprovalMax Capture:

  • Click on the + New request button:


  • Select the respective request type and click on the Bulk Upload button:


  • To have attachments recognised and request fields populated automatically, select whether you want to upload one file per document or a single file with each page representing a document.

  • Under Additional options, use the Extract line items toggle to control how the document is processed:

    • On (default): OCR extracts individual line items from the document.

    • Off: OCR creates a single line with the description "Goods & Services" and the document total. This is recommended for documents with a large number of lines.

  • Add the files by dragging and dropping them, or click on Upload files. Once added, click on Upload:

  • The recognition process takes a couple of seconds. All captured documents will be saved as Drafts, you'll find them in the Captured by Me folder:



  • Once you open the captured request for editing, you can review and adjust the recognised data before submitting for approval.

  • If you need to re-upload or replace the attachment for re-processing, click on the attachment icon in the toolbar at the top of the edit form.


  • Upload the new file, and the Confirm uploading file screen will appear. Here, you can use the Extract line items toggle before confirming the recognition and resubmitting for approval:
