arXiv:2604.25927v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Information extraction from semi-structured business documents remains a critical challenge for enterprise management. This study evaluates the capability of general-purpose Large Language Models to extract structured information from Spanish electricity invoices without task-specific fine-tuning. Using a subset of the IDSEM dataset, we benchmark two architecturally distinct models, Gemini 1.5 Pro and Mistral-small, across 19 parameter configurations and 6 prompting strategies. Our experimental framework treats prompt engineering as the primary experimental variable, comparing zero-shot baselines against increasingly sophisticated few-shot approaches and iterative extraction strategies. Results demonstrate that prompt quality dominates over hyperparameter tuning: the F1-score variation across all parameter configurations is marginal, while the gap between zero-shot and the best few-shot strategy exceeds 19 percentage points. The best configuration (few-shot with cross-validation) achieves an F1-score of 97.61% for Gemini and 96.11% for Mistral-small, with document template structure emerging as the primary determinant of extraction difficulty. These findings establish that prompt design is the critical lever for maximizing extraction fidelity in LLM-based document processing, thereby providing an empirical framework for integrating general-purpose LLMs into business document automation.
