🤖 AI-Powered Smart Document Processor

Transform document processing in Dynamics 365 with AI-powered automation

A powerful Power Apps Component Framework (PCF) control that uses Azure OpenAI Vision to instantly extract data from business documents - invoices, receipts, forms, and more.

🌟 What This Does

Upload a document image, and AI instantly extracts all important fields:

✅ Invoices → Invoice #, date, vendor, amount, tax
✅ Receipts → Merchant, date, total, items
✅ Business Cards → Name, company, phone, email
✅ Forms → All labeled fields automatically detected
✅ ID Documents → Names, numbers, dates, addresses

No templates. No training. Just works. 🚀

📋 Prerequisites

Required

✅ Dynamics 365 or Power Apps environment

✅ PowerApps CLI (Install PAC CLI)
✅ Node.js v14+ (Download)

For Deployment

MSBuild (Visual Studio Build Tools)
Admin access to D365 environment

🚀 Quick Start (5 Minutes)

1️⃣ Clone & Install

git clone https://github.com/aindike/SmartDocumentProcessor.git
cd SmartDocumentProcessor
npm install

2️⃣ Build

npm run build

Expected output: ✅ "Build succeeded" with bundle.js created

3️⃣ Deploy to D365

See detailed instructions in DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md 📖

Quick version:

# Create solution
mkdir Solutions && cd Solutions
pac solution init --publisher-name YourCompany --publisher-prefix new
pac solution add-reference --path ..\SmartDocumentProcessor
msbuild /t:build /restore

# Deploy
pac auth create --url https://yourorg.crm.dynamics.com
pac solution import --path bin\Debug\Solution.zip

4️⃣ Configure on Form

Open form designer in D365
Add a text field (e.g., "Document Data")
Add Smart Document Processor component to the field
Configure required properties:
- Azure OpenAI Endpoint: https://YOUR-RESOURCE.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/YOUR-DEPLOYMENT/chat/completions?api-version=2024-08-01-preview
- Azure OpenAI API Key: Your API key from Azure Portal
Save and publish

5️⃣ Test It!

Open a record with the control
Drag & drop a document image (invoice, receipt, etc.)
Watch AI extract the data in seconds! 🎉

📂 Supported Formats

✅ Supported (Image Formats Only)

PNG - Recommended for best quality
JPG/JPEG - Good for photos
GIF - Animated images (first frame used)
BMP - Windows bitmap
WebP - Modern web format

❌ Not Directly Supported

PDF - Take a screenshot first
Word (DOC/DOCX) - Convert to image or screenshot
Excel - Screenshot the data
Text files - Not image-based

💡 Tip: For PDFs, open them and take a screenshot (Windows: Win+Shift+S), then upload the screenshot image.

⚙️ Configuration

Method 1: Direct Configuration (Quick Testing)

Configure endpoint and API key directly in PCF control properties on the form.

✅ Pros: Quick, easy
❌ Cons: Keys visible in form config (not for production)

Method 2: Environment Variables (Recommended for Production)

Create environment variables in your solution:

Go to make.powerapps.com → Solutions → New → Environment variable
Create Azure OpenAI Endpoint variable (type: Text)
Create Azure OpenAI API Key variable (type: Text, mark as Secret ✅)
Bind control properties to these variables
Update values per environment (dev/test/prod) without code changes

✅ Pros: Secure, easy to manage, multi-environment
❌ Cons: Requires initial setup

💰 Cost Estimates

Azure OpenAI Pricing (Pay-per-use)

Model	Cost per Document*	Best For
GPT-4o	$0.009	High accuracy, complex docs
GPT-4o-mini	$0.0005	Budget-friendly, simple docs

*Based on ~3,000 tokens per document image

Example Scenarios

Usage	Documents/Month	Model	Monthly Cost
Small team	500	GPT-4o-mini	$0.25
Medium team	5,000	GPT-4o	$45
Large team	50,000	GPT-4o	$450

💡 Save money: Start with GPT-4o-mini, upgrade to GPT-4o if you need better accuracy

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

❌ "Configuration Required" Message

Problem: Control shows config warning instead of upload area

Fix: Ensure both Azure Endpoint and API Key properties are configured in the control settings

❌ 401 Unauthorized Error

Problem: Authentication failed

Fix:

Verify API key is correct (copy fresh from Azure Portal)
Ensure endpoint URL matches your deployment
Check Azure OpenAI resource is active

❌ 429 Rate Limit Exceeded

Problem: "Too many requests" error

What This Means: You've exceeded your Azure OpenAI quota (Tokens Per Minute limit)

Immediate Fix:

Wait 60 seconds and try again (control has automatic retry with delays)

Short-term Fix (Increase TPM in Azure):

Go to Azure OpenAI Studio
Select your deployment (GPT-4o or GPT-4o-mini)
Click Edit deployment
Increase Tokens per Minute (TPM) to 30K-60K
Click Save and close

Long-term Fix (Request Quota Increase):

Go to Azure Portal → Azure OpenAI resource
Click Quotas in left menu
Find your model and click Request quota increase
Fill out form with business justification
Wait for approval (usually 1-2 business days)

Prevention: Monitor usage in Azure Monitor, set up alerts for high usage

❌ 400 Invalid Image URL

Problem: Upload fails with "invalid image URL" or "bad request" error

Root Cause: Azure OpenAI Vision API only accepts image formats (not PDFs or Word docs)

Fix:

✅ Upload image files: PNG, JPG, GIF, BMP, WebP
❌ Not supported: PDF, Word (DOC/DOCX), Excel, text files

Workaround for PDFs:

Open PDF in your PDF viewer
Take a screenshot (Windows: Win + Shift + S, Mac: Cmd + Shift + 4)
Save screenshot as PNG or JPG
Upload the screenshot image

Workaround for Word Docs:

Open Word document
Take screenshot of the page
Upload screenshot image

❌ Control Not Appearing on Form

Problem: Form shows field but not the custom control

Fix:

Verify solution was imported successfully
Check form was published (not just saved)
Clear browser cache (Ctrl+F5)
Verify PCF controls are enabled in environment settings

## 📊 Output Format

The control stores extracted data as JSON in the bound field:

```json
{
  "documentType": "Invoice",
  "fields": [
    {
      "name": "Invoice Number",
      "value": "INV-2025-001",
      "confidence": 98,
      "isEdited": false
    },
    {
      "name": "Invoice Date",
      "value": "2025-01-15",
      "confidence": 95,
      "isEdited": false
    },
    {
      "name": "Total Amount",
      "value": "$1,234.56",
      "confidence": 92,
      "isEdited": true
    }
  ],
  "overallConfidence": 96,
  "processingTime": 3500
}

Where is Data Saved?

The extracted data is saved to the text field you bound the control to in D365. When you click Save on the form:

Control calls getOutputs() method
Returns the JSON data shown above
D365 saves it to the bound field (e.g., "Document Data")
Data persists with the record
You can access it via:
- Form scripts: formContext.getAttribute("fieldname").getValue()
- Workflows/Power Automate: Parse JSON from field
- Reports: Query the field like any other text field

🏆 Performance Metrics

Document Type	Avg Processing Time	Typical Accuracy
Invoices	3-5 seconds	95-98%
Receipts	2-4 seconds	92-96%
Business Cards	2-3 seconds	90-95%
Forms	5-8 seconds	88-94%
Complex Docs	8-15 seconds	85-92%

Based on GPT-4o with clear, well-lit images

🎓 Best Practices

📸 Document Quality Tips

✅ Do:

Use PNG format for best quality
Ensure good lighting
Keep image resolution high (300 DPI recommended)
Capture full document in frame
Keep files under 10MB

❌ Don't:

Use blurry photos
Crop out important parts
Use very compressed JPEGs
Submit documents with glare
Upload files over 10MB

🔒 Security Best Practices

Never hardcode credentials - Use environment variables
Rotate API keys regularly - Change every 90 days
Monitor Azure costs - Set up budget alerts
Use RBAC - Limit who can modify control settings
Enable audit logging - Track all processing activities
Consider data residency - Choose Azure region for compliance

⚡ Performance Optimization

Optimize images before upload (compress if >5MB)
Increase TPM quota in Azure (30K-60K recommended)
Use GPT-4o-mini for simple documents (10x cheaper)
Batch process during off-peak hours if possible
Monitor retry rates to identify issues early
