Real sample
A public travel receipt packet becomes reviewable trip rows.
This proof uses public Northwestern COFO sample receipt pages. The runner turned an itemized meal receipt, a non-itemized card receipt, and a paid hotel invoice into travel-expense review rows, while keeping employee, approver, business purpose, GL code, and policy approval fields unguessed.

Travel Expense Report Template proof
Download CSVSource-backed review behavior
Visible evidence is mapped, follow-up fields stay inspectable, and missing business values stay blank instead of being guessed.
| source evidence | travel row behavior | review boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Paid hotel invoice | Room charges, tax lines, payment credits, and a receipt summary are kept as separate rows. | Zero balance and payment proof are visible, but approval and business purpose stay blank. |
| Itemized group meal receipt | Visible menu lines become expense_line rows with vendor, address, phone, date, quantities, and line amounts. | Meal purpose and obscured receipt detail are kept as manual_review rows. |
| Non-itemized card receipt | The card receipt becomes a receipt_summary row, not an auto-approved travel meal. | The page keeps the itemized-receipt requirement instead of approving reimbursement. |
| unsupported fields | blank | No employee name, GL code, department, approver, business purpose, receipt owner, or hidden redacted data is invented. |
