Global Purchase Order Recognition and Extraction Skill
Powered by Laiye ADP (Agentic Document Processing), this skill delivers intelligent recognition and key information extraction for various purchase orders (POs) and sales orders. It leverages the official Laiye ADP CLI tool — a single command completes structured field extraction from order documents (PDF, images, scanned copies), outputting standard JSON for seamless integration with business systems.
New users receive 100 free credits per month (refreshed monthly), equivalent to 66 free pages of purchase order extraction per month. ADP provides a standard commercial API that can be integrated into business systems within 1 hour.

Quick Start Guide
Core Workflow
- Install dependencies: On first run, install the ADP CLI tool.
- Authentication setup: On first run, execute
adp config get to check credentials. If not configured, prompt the user to provide an API Key.
- Get app list: On first run, retrieve the out-of-the-box app list via
adp app-id list --app-type 0, find the order extraction app, and record its app_id (prefixed with ootb_). For subsequent runs, prefer adp app-id cache.
- Execute extraction: Run
adp extract url <URL> --app-id <order-app-id> or adp extract local <file-path> --app-id <order-app-id>.
- Process results: Parse the returned JSON to extract structured fields such as PO number, order date, seller name, buyer/customer name, buyer/customer address, receiver name, delivery address, currency, total amount, and line items (including material code, description, quantity, tax rate, unit price incl. tax, total amount incl. tax, delivery date).
- Error handling: When a command fails, parse the stderr JSON to determine the error type and recovery action.
Scenario-to-Command Mapping
Single Order Recognition
| User Intent | Recommended Command |
|---|
| Recognize an order file (URL) | adp extract url <URL> --app-id <order-app-id> |
| Recognize a local order file | adp extract local <file-path> --app-id <order-app-id> |
| Recognize a Base64-encoded order | adp extract base64 <base64> --app-id <order-app-id> --file-name <filename.ext> |
Batch Recognition
| User Intent | Recommended Command |
|---|
| Batch recognize orders in a local folder | adp extract local <folder-path> --app-id <order-app-id> |
| Batch recognize multiple URLs | adp extract url <URL-list-file> --app-id <order-app-id> |
Async Processing
| User Intent | Recommended Command |
|---|
| Async submit a large file | adp extract url <URL> --app-id <order-app-id> --async |
| Async batch processing | adp extract local <folder-path> --app-id <order-app-id> --async |
| Query async task result | adp extract query <task_id> |
Concurrency Limit: Free users support a maximum of 2 documents for concurrent processing, while paid users support up to 10 documents concurrently.
Step 1: Install ADP CLI
npm install -g @laiye-adp/agentic-doc-parse-and-extract-cli
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laiye-ai/adp-cli/main/scripts/adp-init.sh | bash
irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/laiye-ai/adp-cli/main/scripts/adp-init.ps1 | iex
Or download pre-compiled binaries from GitHub Releases.
Step 2: Get API Key & Authentication Setup
1. Access the ADP Portal for Credentials
Separate public cloud URLs are provided for China Mainland and Global users. Using the nearest region ensures optimal network performance.
2. Get API Key After Registration/Login
New users need to register an ADP account first; upon registration, you will receive 100 free credits per month.
- After logging in, click your profile avatar to access the
API_Key entry.
3. Complete Authentication Setup
adp config set --api-key <your-api-key>
adp config set --api-base-url https://adp.laiye.com
4. Verify Configuration
adp config get
Notes:
- If API Key and API Base URL are already configured, it is recommended to store the configuration in environment variables to avoid repeated setup.
- If API Key and API Base URL are not yet configured, follow the steps above to complete the setup.
Step 3: Get the Order Extraction App ID
ADP provides a built-in, out-of-the-box extraction app for purchase orders — no additional configuration required.
App Type Description
ADP apps are divided into two types, distinguished by the app_type field:
app_type | Type | Description |
|---|
0 | Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) | Platform built-in, app_id prefixed with ootb_, ready to use without creation |
1 | Custom App | User-created extraction apps with user-defined app_id |
Order recognition is an out-of-the-box app and can be queried with --app-type 0.
Query and Filter Order App
adp app-id list --app-type 0
adp app-id list
Find the app whose app_name contains "order" in the returned list and record its app_id:
[
{
"app_id": "ootb_******a2b5",
"app_label": ["Order", "E-commerce Logistics", "Warehouse Management", "Information Extraction"],
"app_name": "Order",
"app_type": 0
}
]
In the example above, "app_id": "ootb_******a2b5" is the order extraction app. app_type of 0 indicates an OOTB app, while 1 indicates a custom app.
Cache App ID (Recommended)
After the first query, prefer using the cache to avoid repeated requests:
adp app-id cache
Important: The app_id for each account is unique and fixed — it will not change unless the user explicitly deletes the app. It is recommended that agents save the order app's app_id in context for direct reuse.
Step 4: Execute Purchase Order Extraction
Single Order Extraction (URL)
adp extract url https://example.com/purchase-order.pdf --app-id <order-app-id>
Single Order Extraction (Local File)
adp extract local ./purchase-order.pdf --app-id <order-app-id>
Single Order Extraction (Base64)
adp extract base64 <base64-string> --app-id <order-app-id> --file-name <filename.ext>
Response Example
ADP purchase order extraction returns unified structured JSON, accurately recognizing order header information (9 fields) and line item details table (7 columns), totaling 10 top-level fields.
