Introduction

SharePoint is a web-site based collaboration system that uses workflow applications, list databases, and other web parts and security features to empower business teams to work together. SharePoint also gives the company using the platform the ability to control access to the information and automate the workflow processes across business units.

In simpler words, SharePoint allows you to manage all of your corporate content, creation of websites, and the organization’s intranets to keep your users informed on what is happening, creating business process automation to automate tedious and mundane tasks and build customized apps that can help to boost your team’s productivity.

Problem Statement

Lately, I came across a problem while making a POC on Invoice automation where i had to extract data from an invoice and store it in a SharePoint list. The problem was that the Invoice Processing System that I built was made using Python and Django, so finding a way to achieve the task seemed difficult in the initial days. After doing some research and looking for some resources, I stumbled into a Python library called shareplum which helps you to interact with SharePoint using Python.
