What to do
Separate invoice identity from shipment identity, and keep each charge type attached to the shipment it describes. A carrier bill can contain several shipments and several charges per shipment. Start with a representative sample before relying on a particular nested output shape.
The suggested fields below are a review design, not a claim of a dedicated Parzable carrier integration.
Two worked review cases
These cases are fictional teaching data, not measured extraction results. Use the source excerpts to practise deciding what belongs in the reviewed output.
| Case | Fictional source excerpt | Review decision |
|---|---|---|
| Several shipments | Invoice DEMO-F1 lists SHIP-A 40.00 and SHIP-B 60.00 | Two shipment groups belong to one 100.00 invoice summary. |
| Separate duty document | A freight bill and a duty document refer to SHIP-A | Classify both sources before marking either a duplicate. |
Suggested review columns
| Column | Definition or instruction |
|---|---|
| Carrier invoice number | Identifier of the complete billing document. |
| Shipment references and charges | Printed shipment IDs with charge descriptions and amounts retained together. |
| Invoice total and currency | Printed summary value for the entire document. |
These are suggested staging-sheet columns. Printed facts can inform field descriptions in Parzable’s Schemas view; source references, review statuses, and decisions must be supplied by your own review process.
A practical review sequence
- Capture invoice-level fields first and identify shipment section boundaries.
- Request charge detail with descriptions rather than an unexplained list of amounts.
- Review grouping and normalize any item data separately before destination import.
Errors to avoid
- Parzable’s batch CSV is file-based, not a guaranteed one-row-per-shipment export.
- Do not merge shipment charges and invoice totals into one summed column.
Use the case worksheet with a small sample
Download this page’s worked-case worksheet. It contains the two fictional cases above and a blank row for your own review exercise. Keep any real source documents in your agreed storage process.
For the broader product workflow, see the related guide. Parzable accepts PDF/image inputs and downloads CSV. Suggested structures here are review targets; nested item rows, automatic approvals, and destination integrations are not guaranteed.
