When this work lands on your desk

A carrier settlement sheet arrives for carrier settlement accounting teams. The next step needs load references, gross pay, deductions and net pay, recorded under the correct document reference before the information enters your shipment or billing review system.

A settlement offsets a prior advance against the current load. Keep the deduction reference before a settlement reviewer approves payment. 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

  • Carrier settlement sheet PDFs
  • Scanned or photographed carrier settlement sheet 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 carrier name, settlement reference, settlement period, your application maps the reviewed record into your shipment or billing review system. Keep the original document reference with the result. Payment release 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
carrier_namestringCarrier name exactly as printed in this carrier settlement sheet. Preserve identifiers and qualifiers; do not look up or infer missing information.
settlement_referencestringSettlement reference exactly as printed in this carrier settlement sheet. Preserve identifiers and qualifiers; do not look up or infer missing information.
settlement_periodstringSettlement period exactly as printed in this carrier settlement sheet. Preserve identifiers and qualifiers; do not look up or infer missing information.
load_payment_rowsarrayEvery visible load payment rows row in this carrier settlement sheet. Preserve separate rows, labels and qualifiers; do not merge entries or reconstruct missing ones.
gross_paycurrencyGross pay explicitly labeled in this carrier settlement sheet. Preserve its sign and stated currency; do not calculate a missing amount.
deduction_rowsarrayEvery visible deduction rows row in this carrier settlement sheet. Preserve separate rows, labels and qualifiers; do not merge entries or reconstruct missing ones.
stated_net_paycurrencyStated net pay explicitly labeled in this carrier settlement sheet. Preserve its sign and stated currency; do not calculate a missing amount.

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 settlement offsets a prior advance against the current load. Keep the deduction reference before a settlement reviewer approves payment.
  • Check gross pay, stated net pay for signs, decimal placement and stated currency before any downstream calculation or posting.
  • Compare every load payment rows, deduction rows row with the source, including continuation pages, separate categories and repeated table headings.

Prove the fit on a representative batch.

Test carrier settlement sheet examples from the layouts your team actually receives. Include the exception described here: A settlement offsets a prior advance against the current load. Keep the deduction reference before a settlement reviewer approves payment. Compare the extracted carrier name, settlement reference, settlement period 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 carrier settlement sheet 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 carrier settlement accounting teams. Bring difficult carrier settlement sheet 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.
