SentIDP Invoice NER — v1.0

Fine-tuned LayoutLMv3 for Ghanaian Invoice Information Extraction

---

Model Description

SentIDP Invoice NER is a named entity recognition model for automated extraction of key fields from Ghanaian business invoices. It is fine-tuned on top of albertosei/invoice-ner-v2-amaye15, which was originally trained on 13,000 invoice images using docTR OCR.

This model was developed by the TYNCAD team as part of an Intelligent Document Processing pipeline tailored specifically to the Ghanaian business context — including GRA tax rules, local company naming conventions, Ghanaian banks, Mobile Money (MoMo), and GHS currency formats.

Training Data

• 20,000 synthetic Ghanaian invoices
• 15 industries covered: logistics, pharmacy, real estate, healthcare, insurance, branding, banking, fintech, automobile, marketing, agencies, NGO, government, technology, financial
• 8 currencies with GHS (Ghana Cedis) at 62% weight
• 10 PDF layout engines for visual diversity
• Ground truth generated automatically via PyMuPDF — exact word-level bounding boxes, zero manual labelling
• Augmented with scan noise, rotation, perspective distortion, and JPEG compression artifacts to simulate real-world scans

Labels (50 total)

The model extracts the following fields using BIO tagging:

Category	Labels
Document header	HEADER_TYPE, HEADER_NUMBER, HEADER_DATE, DUE_DATE, PO_NUMBER
Seller	SELLER_NAME, SELLER_ADDRESS, SELLER_TIN
Buyer	BUYER_NAME, BUYER_ADDRESS
Line items	ITEM_DESC, QTY, UNIT_PRICE, LINE_TOTAL
Financials	SUBTOTAL, TAX_AMOUNT, GRAND_TOTAL, AMOUNT_WORDS
Payment	PAYMENT_TERMS, BANK_NAME, ACCOUNT_NUMBER, MOMO_DETAILS
Signatories	PREPARED_BY, AUTHORISED_BY
Other	O, B-OTHER

Intended Use

• Automated invoice processing for Ghanaian businesses
• GRA tax compliance validation
• Accounts payable automation
• Invoice data extraction for ERP integration

---

Limitations

• Trained entirely on synthetic data — v1.0
• Performance on heavily degraded real scans may vary
• Real Ghanaian invoice fine-tuning planned for v2.0
• Currently supports single-page invoices only

---

Roadmap

• v1.1 — Epoch 3 training completion
• v2.0 — Fine-tuning on real annotated Ghanaian invoices
• v2.1 — Multi-page invoice support
• v3.0 — Full IDP pipeline with structured JSON output
