Document Review
Inspect parsed text and structured data before relying on AI-generated accounting facts.
Document review is the control point between extraction and accounting work.
Better Accountant can parse source files and propose structured facts, but accountants decide whether extracted data is usable.
Review inputs
Review pages can include:
| Input | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Source document | The original uploaded file or viewer context. |
| Parsed text | Text and page metadata extracted by the parser service. |
| Structured data | AI-generated fields, line items, totals, period, and currency. |
| Error state | Parser, extraction, or provider failure details. |
| Review status | Needs review, approved, or other configured review outcome. |
Failure recovery
Parse failure marks the document failed. Structured extraction failure keeps parsed text available when possible, so the document can be retried or reviewed without re-uploading bytes.
Retry actions enqueue work through the same processing queue rather than bypassing concurrency and fairness controls.
