Step by step.

  1. Check the statement period

    Confirm that the drafted rows cover the dates and pages expected from the source statement.

  2. Inspect amounts and signs

    Compare credits, debits, decimal places, and negative signs with the highlighted source evidence.

  3. Read descriptions in context

    Look for wrapped descriptions, reference numbers, and adjacent lines that may need a split or merge.

  4. Reconcile balances

    Use opening, running, and closing balances where present to catch missing or duplicated rows.

  5. Approve only after corrections

    Approval fixes the exact revision used by conversion exports.

Begin with coverage

A review can look complete while missing a page or a block of transactions. Compare the statement period, page count, and visible transaction range before correcting individual cells.

  • Expected first and last transaction dates
  • Every page that contains transaction rows
  • Opening and closing balance sections when present

Check the fields that change the result

Dates, amount signs, and decimal placement affect sorting and totals. Descriptions often wrap across source lines, so a row may need a merge or a split even when every word was recognized.

Select a row to keep its evidence box in view. Use correction, split, merge, and undo rather than editing without a source reference.

Use reconciliation as a second check

When the statement provides balances, verify that the transaction sequence explains the movement from opening to closing balance. This can expose a duplicated row, a missing row, or the wrong debit and credit sign.

Balance checks help identify potential issues. Compare the draft with the source before approval; a matching total does not prove every row is correct.

Questions about this guide

Can I undo a row correction?

Yes. The review workflow supports undo as well as correction, split, and merge actions.

What if a scanned page needs another extraction pass?

Manual inspection and re-extraction use the same provider policy and do not consume a second page.

Which revision does the API return?

CSV, XLSX and JSON conversion exports use the approved persisted revision. The result endpoint returns the latest saved review revision and does not establish approval.

Put this into practice.
