Real sample
A public reimbursement packet fills basic review rows.
This proof uses UCSC's public sample reimbursement receipts PDF. The runner filled a Basic Expense Report workbook with one row per sample receipt type and kept missing expense dates, payees, vendors, amounts, and currency blank because the source packet is an evidence guide, not a real reimbursement ledger.

Visible evidence is mapped, follow-up fields stay inspectable, and missing business values stay blank instead of being guessed.
| receipt type | status | basic template behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Printed receipt | Evidence shown | Vendor contact, itemized detail, and proof of payment are marked present. |
| Hand-written receipt | Follow-up required | Business-card requirement is kept in required_follow_up. |
| Invoice | Evidence shown | Invoice evidence is mapped without inventing reimbursement amount fields. |
| Named billing invoice | Payee review required | Payee mismatch is kept for review instead of becoming an approval decision. |
| unsupported fields | blank | No expense date, claimant, vendor, amount, currency, receipt number, or category is invented. |
