Real sample

A public reimbursement packet becomes review-ready template rows.

This proof uses UCSC's public sample reimbursement receipts PDF. Messy2Sheet filled a Basic Expense Report workbook with one row per sample receipt type, kept missing expense dates, payees, vendors, amounts, and currency blank, and moved policy issues into review fields instead of inventing a cleaner ledger.

Generated reimbursement review rows

The result separates visible evidence from approval decisions. Missing business values stay blank, while follow-up requirements remain visible for finance review.

receipt type	evidence status	template behavior
Printed receipt	Evidence shown	Vendor, itemized detail, and payment evidence are marked present.
Hand-written receipt	Follow-up required	Business-card requirement stays in required_follow_up.
Invoice	Evidence shown	Invoice evidence is mapped without inventing reimbursement amounts.
Named billing invoice	Payee review required	Billing-name mismatch is kept as a review issue, not an approval decision.
