When this work lands on your desk

A travel form arrives for business travel approval coordinators. The next step needs traveler, dates, destination, budget and stated approval, recorded under the correct document reference before the information enters your people operations review register.

A travel form includes a requested itinerary but an unsigned approval section. Capture the request without booking or authorizing spend. This schema keeps the source labels and values explicit so the reviewer can resolve the issue before downstream use.

Start with the documents you already collect

  • Travel form PDFs
  • Scanned or photographed travel form pages

PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or WEBP. Send one file per extraction call; create separate schemas when the document types need different fields.

  1. Define the fields

    Open the starter schema. Edit field descriptions, mark the values your process requires, and save it in your account.

  2. Extract at intake

    Send the document and saved schema slug to POST /api/v1/extract, or collect the file through a branded upload site.

  3. Hand off reviewed data

    After checking traveler name, request reference, departure date, your application maps the reviewed record into your people operations review register. Keep the original document reference with the result. Booking external. Dokyumi processes one file with a saved schema; your application owns record matching, business rules and updates to other systems.

A schema shaped around the next step.

Start with these fields, then adjust them to match your documents and destination system. The example above shows the data object you are asking Dokyumi to extract.

Choose required fields for your process. The starter schema preserves any defined nested fields; refine line-item structures and test them on representative files.

FieldTypeWhat to capture
traveler_namestringTraveler name exactly as printed in this travel form. Preserve identifiers and qualifiers; do not look up or infer missing information.
request_referencestringRequest reference exactly as printed in this travel form. Preserve identifiers and qualifiers; do not look up or infer missing information.
departure_datedateDeparture date explicitly printed in this travel form. Keep it distinct from other dates; leave it empty if no calendar date is stated.
return_datedateReturn date explicitly printed in this travel form. Keep it distinct from other dates; leave it empty if no calendar date is stated.
destination_textstringDestination text exactly as printed in this travel form. Preserve identifiers and qualifiers; do not look up or infer missing information.
stated_budgetcurrencyStated budget explicitly labeled in this travel form. Preserve its sign and stated currency; do not calculate a missing amount.
approval_textstringPrinted approval wording or signoff text. Do not infer approval from an empty box or an unverified signature.

Give exceptions a clear path to review.

Dokyumi returns a model-reported confidence map, validation details, and a completed or review status for produced results. Check required fields and your business rules before passing data onward.

A completed extraction describes the extraction result. Your application and reviewers own matching, approvals, routing, and updates to other systems.

Checks for this process

  • A travel form includes a requested itinerary but an unsigned approval section. Capture the request without booking or authorizing spend.
  • Check departure date, return date against their own printed labels; leave an unstated date empty instead of deriving it.
  • Check stated budget for signs, decimal placement and stated currency before any downstream calculation or posting.

Prove the fit on a representative batch.

Test travel form examples from the layouts your team actually receives. Include the exception described here: A travel form includes a requested itinerary but an unsigned approval section. Capture the request without booking or authorizing spend. Compare the extracted traveler name, request reference, departure date and any line rows with a reviewer's checked reference before enabling downstream actions.

Compare extracted values with a reviewer’s reference set. Record corrections, unresolved fields, review time, and credits used before connecting downstream actions.

The free plan’s credit limits apply. Assisted pilots are scoped with Dokyumi before work begins.

Expand when the next process is ready

Add recurring extraction capacity when travel form intake becomes routine. Reuse this field contract for layouts that express the same information; create a separate schema when the next document has different fields or review requirements.

For a tailored implementation

Discuss document volume, page lengths and schema setup for business travel approval coordinators. Bring difficult travel form samples and the review requirements your implementation must preserve.

Talk through document mix and volume

Start small. Add capacity as intake grows.

All self-service plans include the REST API, upload-site webhooks, custom confidence thresholds, and schema inference. Choose by volume, schema count, and upload sites.
