As of Release 24R2, it is

Learning Pre-trained Models" table, and the corresponding configuration
provided for Machine Learning Services is selected as "Configuration ID".
This assistant "Scan Sales
Quotation" was implemented to scan customer's quotation requests which are
transmitted in a way that is suitable for identifying and interpreting them
using a combination of Character Recognition and Artificial Intelligence
software. The assistant supports pdf files as well as several picture file
formats (bmp, jpg, png...).
Before a Sales Quotation can be
successfully created by the assistant, the Customer and the Sales Parts and,
if applicable, the Sales Part Cross References must first be created.
To use the full functionality:
The scanned document must contain only one Request
for Quotation.
The quotation Lines shall be provided in a tabular form. Data in table column header
cannot be considered. Example: If the order contains a
column named "Qty kgs", the UoM cannot be recognized. Instead, an own
column with UoM is recommended.
Handwritten unformatted quotations or emails are difficult
or impossible to recognize
English language
of the documents is preferred and leads to best results.
The assistant consists of 3
steps with the following activities:
Step 1: Scan Quotation
Enter Scan Sales Quotation Site and Coordinator: You
select the Site that the quotation is scanned for and the Coordinator
(if these values are not correctly preset by user's defaults)

continue
Step 2: Review Order
