  <Countries><Country></Countries> and <Languages> <Language></Languages>
• Regular expressions for order numbers enclosed in the following tags:
  <OrderNumber><Value><RegularExpression></RegularExpression></Value></OrderNumber>;
• A list of additional Document Definition features for processing invoices (see Additional fields and Enabling additional program features for Operators for details) and their status (enabled/disabled) in the AdditionalFeatures tag.
• A list of invoice recognition languages in the PrimaryLanguages tag.
• Settings for the invoice status additional feature (see The status of documents in ABBYY FlexiCapture for Invoices projects for details) in the DocumentStatus tag.
