If an amount is blurred or cut off in the statement, obtain a clearer source before approving the extracted value. Small marks such as decimal points and minus signs can change the meaning of a movement.
- Zoom into the original PDF and compare the questionable line with the bank’s online record or another official export.
- Download a clearer statement or rescan the original page with the entire row visible.
- Review the saved extraction and any replacement processing against the corrected evidence.
Do not choose an amount because it makes the closing balance agree. Several different errors can offset each other, and a balanced total does not establish the correct individual transaction.
Keep the review specific
Record the page, date, description and uncertain field. If the source amount is known elsewhere, retain that supporting record with the review.
Before extracting another copy, check which transactions already exist. A clearer source may overlap a previous incomplete extraction. Resolve duplicate or correction questions before posting, and keep the original scan available so the reason for the updated evidence is clear.
