Metering and charging logic
When using UiPath® Document UnderstandingTM modern projects, it's essential to understand the system we use for metering and charging, specifically in relation to AI units. The main operation that we charge is digitization, without charging subsequent operations, like extraction or classification. If digitization for the same document takes place multiple times, it will be charged multiple times.
A unique feature for modern projects is that regardless of the operations performed on a page - be it digitization, extraction, or classification - only one single AI unit is charged. This applies to all operations, encompassing both robotic process automation (RPA) and public APIs operations.
- OCR only → 1 AI unit / page
- OCR and classification → 1 AI unit / page
- OCR, classification, and extraction → 1 AI unit / page
- If you use the Classify Document activity to process a document, triggering digitization and the result is stored in a Document Data → 1 AI unit / input page
- If you use the Extract Document Data activity
to:
- Process a document using the file itself as input, triggering digitization → 2 AI units / page
- Process a document using Document Data, the output of Classify Document, as input → 1 AI Unit / page
