Summary

Distinguish data extraction from confirmation of transaction details. A solution should identify unclear fields and send them back for human review. Good automation does not need to pretend that every document can be read with equal accuracy.

Schematic illustration: Read data → Check fields → Confirm the transaction.

A common situation

Illustrative scenario: An employee is pleased to stop typing amounts from each document. But at approval time, the manager asks what the purchase was for and whether the goods have arrived. Reading the text is one step; confirming the business transaction is another.

Three steps you can try

  1. Separate extraction from confirmation.
  2. Flag fields that were not read clearly.
  3. Put a checking step before use.

What to remember

Distinguish data extraction from confirmation of transaction details. A solution should identify unclear fields and send them back for human review. Good automation does not need to pretend that every document can be read with equal accuracy.

This is a hypothetical illustration, not an ACC customer testimonial or project result.
