Accounting Automation Glossary
Clear, authoritative definitions of the core concepts driving modern accounting and AI data extraction in India.
Tally XML
Tally XML is the standard data exchange format used by Tally ERP 9 and Tally Prime to import and export accounting records. By formatting data as Tally XML, software like AccuRaik allows accountants to bypass manual data entry, importing thousands of vouchers (sales, purchases, receipts) instantly without mapping CSV columns.

Invoice OCR (Optical Character Recognition)
Invoice OCR is technology that converts images or PDFs of invoices into machine-readable text. Modern, AI-powered Invoice OCR goes beyond simple text recognition to semantically understand the structure of an invoice—identifying the Vendor Name, Invoice Date, Line Items, and GST breakdowns regardless of the visual layout.
ITC Reconciliation (Input Tax Credit)
In the Indian GST framework, ITC Reconciliation is the process of matching the purchase invoices recorded in a business's internal accounting books against the GSTR-2A or GSTR-2B data filed by their suppliers on the government portal. Discrepancies can lead to a loss of input tax credit. AI automation ensures the internal records are captured with 100% accuracy to make this matching seamless.
Bank Statement Conversion
Bank Statement Conversion is the automated process of transforming a non-editable PDF bank statement into a structured format like Excel or CSV. This is crucial for Bank Reconciliation. While generic tools struggle with multi-line narratives and password-protected files, specialized accounting AI can parse complex Indian bank formats into clean debits and credits.
AI Accounting Automation
AI Accounting Automation refers to the use of Machine Learning and Large Language Models to perform repetitive bookkeeping tasks that previously required human judgment. Unlike older rule-based software (which requires a template for every new vendor), AI accounting systems can dynamically process unseen document formats with high accuracy.
GSTIN Validation
GSTIN Validation is the programmatic check of a 15-digit Goods and Services Tax Identification Number to ensure its mathematical and structural validity. High-end accounting tools validate the GSTIN extracted from an invoice in real-time to prevent faulty data from entering the ERP system.
