Update supplier invoice line items from parsed PDFs

Automatically process parsed invoice data across Docparser, Formatter by Zapier, Quickbase, and OneDrive. Create and update when invoice references detected, PO numbers extracted, or line item data capturedβ€”so you can normalize fields, update invoice records, and archive PDFs without manual rekeying.
