Continue bill review when the document reader fails

Enter verified source details manually without treating extraction as required.

Updated 2026-11-11

If the bill document cannot be read automatically, the review screen allows you to enter its details. Open the source and work directly from the visible document. A reader failure does not by itself mean that the source is invalid or that a new upload must be created.

Enter the supplier, reference, dates and source currency. Add each bill line with its description and amount, then record the reviewed subtotal, explicit tax amount and total. Compare the full set of lines with the source before saving.

If the source itself is illegible or incomplete, obtain usable evidence before confirming the review. Manually entering a plausible amount is not a substitute for reading the document. Keep unresolved details out of a confirmed supplier obligation.

Use the final review confirmation only after checking the source and arithmetic. The result is an unissued draft with the source attachment, which still needs its account mapping and permitted issuance steps. Verify that saved result before retrying or preparing another bill from the same file.
