Supplier layouts move delivery, PO, item and quantity fields to different positions.
Stamps, signatures and handwritten damage notes can overlap the values that matter most.
Header data and repeating item rows must stay related without shifting quantities between products.
The goal is not just conversion. The goal is structured output your team can use immediately.
Capture delivery number, PO, delivery date, supplier, destination and receiver fields.
Create one row per item and keep delivered quantity, received quantity and unit separate.
Send shortages, rejected items, damage notes and unreadable values to an exception queue.
Best when the source layout is inconsistent and the target output needs to follow business logic.
The point is not to mirror the source page. It is to create an output file that saves follow-up work.
A practical three-step path from source file to usable Excel output.
Upload delivery note, proof-of-delivery or goods-receipt PDFs and scans.
Define header, item and exception fields, then confirm quantity units.
Review signatures, shortages and damage notes before exporting the receipt register.

Test a batch containing both clean deliveries and quantity exceptions to validate the review workflow.
