Using the prebuilt invoice model in Form Recognizer Studio, I find some issues with how currencies are recognised. It gets it wrong more often than right. Taking two examples: Invoice PDF states "All Amounts shown are in Euro", no other currencies are referenced on the document. json response has all values shown with currencyCode USD. PDF Invoice total is correctly OCRed with Euro currency as "content": "€115.50". Currency is correctly interpreted with "currencySymbol": "€", but then has "currencyCode": "GBP" assigned when all the information to have "EUR" assigned has been recognised. I'm using API version 2023-07-31. Have I missed some requirement in order to have currencies (symbols and/or codes) returned correctly?

Are there known issues with currency recognition?

Hello @Fergus O'Neill , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Sorry for the inconveniences. Is it possible to share the documents (if non-confidential) with us here/email us to reproduce the same on our end?
I just ran the sample documents existed in the pre-built invoice model with similar scenarios it worked well on my end.

Thanks for the response.

I'm afraid I'm not in a position to share those documents on a public forum.

However, I can give you screenshots of the relevant sections.

The first one, where USD is reported is from this:

And the second one, where GBP is assigned when € symbol is recognised is from this:

I hope that's enough to isolate the issue!

Hello @Fergus O'Neill , thanks for sharing this information.

I tried to reproduce these documents the second document worked well with the latest API version. Coming to the other document I believe issue can be due to the currency type has been mentioned in words somewhere in the top.

However, will try to share this feedback to the product team.
