# AI Document Review

> What the analysis read out of a piece of evidence — with quote and page reference — confirm, correct or reject

## Overview

Every document you or your supplier upload is read, classified and evaluated **field by field**. The result is no longer only a finding in an analysis report — it is a worklist right next to the document: a **document viewer** with the file on the left and every value read on the right, each with its source.

Values the system is sure about are applied on their own; they permanently carry the note **"automatically applied"** (`automatisch übernommen`). Everything else waits for your decision: **Confirm**, **Correct** or — for category coverage — **Reject**.

<Info>
  **Nothing is claimed without evidence.** Every value read names the document, the page and the passage it came from. Where the analysis finds nothing, it says **"missing"** — it does not guess.
</Info>

The same way of working exists in the PPWR module under [Evidence documents](/en/ppwr/datenerfassung/nachweise). The controls are identical in both modules.

## Switching it on

The review panel is a company setting: **Settings → Automations → AI document review**, toggle **"Enable AI document review"**. It is **off** by default.

While it is off, nothing changes: documents are still analysed, but the individual values read do not appear as a reviewable list. Switch it on and **values read earlier** appear too — nothing has to be re-uploaded. See [Settings → Automations](/en/eudr/einstellungen).

## Opening the document viewer

You reach it everywhere a piece of evidence appears:

* **Documents** (`/documents`) — click a document card, see [Documents](/en/eudr/optional/dokumente)
* **Compliance gaps** — from a gap, see [Resolve risk](/en/eudr/datensammlung/risiko-behebung)
* **Article detail** — from the article's evidence list

The viewer shows the original with page navigation and zoom on the left, the evaluation on the right. **Download original** gives you the untouched file; **Done** closes the view.

## The briefing: why this document needs attention

At the very top, in plain language, is what needs doing — before you look at a single field.

| Block                          | What it says                                                                                                                                                                                               |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Outcome line**               | The gist in one sentence, e.g. **"Supporting evidence – the category is not satisfied"** or **"This document still needs review"**                                                                         |
| **Why this needs attention**   | The reasons as a list: proposed coverage, how many values differ or are missing, open area decisions, quality problems (illegible signature, missing issue date), contradictions with the declared context |
| **What the system recognised** | **Recognised type** and **Scope affected** — what the document was read as, and how many articles it applies to                                                                                            |
| **Open decisions**             | The decisions that now sit with you — category coverage and values                                                                                                                                         |
| **Decision history**           | Decisions already recorded for this document                                                                                                                                                               |

<Note>
  A document can be read correctly and **still** not satisfy a category. **"Supporting evidence"** and **"Chain of custody only – no legality coverage"** are end states, not rejections; there is nothing to decide there. The full status list is under [Documents](/en/eudr/optional/dokumente).
</Note>

## Category coverage: accept or reject proposals

Under **Category coverage** the analysis proposes which legality categories this document actually supports — regardless of the category it was filed under. The line **"Currently filed under: …"** names the current filing, the counter on the right (**"2 categories open"**) the proposals still open.

<Frame caption="Category coverage with proposals to accept or reject">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/polygonone/ke0s5yJVAqnNfdqd/images/helpcenter/datensammlung/dokumentenpruefung-abdeckung.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=ke0s5yJVAqnNfdqd&q=85&s=e67f21d3e5b81cb8ca5589546bbc9e65" width="1456" height="836" data-path="images/helpcenter/datensammlung/dokumentenpruefung-abdeckung.jpg" />
</Frame>

Every proposal carries the **Proposal** marker, the production country and two buttons: **Accept** and **Reject**. Handle several at once via **"Select all open categories"** and then **"Accept selection"** or **"Reject selection"**.

* **Accept** — the document counts as evidence for that category from now on.
* **Reject** — the proposal disappears; the category stays open and still waits for a covering document.

Accepted coverage can be carried over to other articles of the same supplier via **"Apply to more articles"** — questionnaire answers are **not** copied.

## Values from this document

The second block is the actual field review: **"Values from this document — what the analysis read, with its source. Confirm, correct, or pick a value where they differ."** The counter per section (**"3 to clarify"**) says how many rows are still open.

<Frame caption="Field list with quote, page reference and 'automatically applied'">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/polygonone/ke0s5yJVAqnNfdqd/images/helpcenter/datensammlung/dokumentenpruefung-felder.jpg?fit=max&auto=format&n=ke0s5yJVAqnNfdqd&q=85&s=822f0c7c06cb18af0c9926c8a8be4efb" width="1456" height="836" data-path="images/helpcenter/datensammlung/dokumentenpruefung-felder.jpg" />

Depending on the document type, the fields read are: **Issuer**, **Issue date**, **Valid until**, **Reference number**, **Holder**, **Harvest period from/to**, **Administrative region**, **Area (ha)** and **Plots in the document**.

### The states of a row

| State                     | Meaning                                                   | What to do                                              |
| ------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
| **automatically applied** | The analysis was sure; the value is already in the record | Nothing — you may still **Confirm** or **Correct** it   |
| **to review**             | Read, but not confidently enough to apply                 | **Confirm** or **Correct**                              |
| **discrepancy**           | The document says something other than the stored value   | **"Use this value"** on the entry you want              |
| **missing**               | Not found in the document                                 | **Correct** and enter it yourself — or ask the supplier |
| **confirmed**             | Decided by a person                                       | Nothing                                                 |
| **rejected**              | The value read was discarded                              | Nothing                                                 |

Settled rows move into the collapsible group **"Confirmed values (n)"** so the list stays short. **"Apply n open values"** confirms every open row of a section at once.

### Quote, page and "Show in document"

Below each value read is the **passage** it came from, next to it the chip **"Document p. n"**. **"Show in document"** jumps the left-hand pane to exactly that page — so you can check a value without searching the file.

If the analysis found only the page but no quotable passage, the page chip appears without a quote. That is not a fault but the honest answer: it was read on this page, and nothing there is quotable verbatim.

### Translating a foreign-language quote

If the passage is not in your language, **"Translate this text"** appears. One click translates it in place; below it then reads **"Machine translation – the original text above is authoritative."** The original is never replaced, and the translation is cached, so the second call is instant.

No translation is offered for names and place names — it does not help there. If translation fails, the panel says **"Translation is not possible at the moment. The original text above is unchanged."**

### Provenance chips: where a value came from

Every value visibly keeps its origin — later in the form, too:

| Chip                             | Origin                                |
| -------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Document** / **Document p. n** | Read from the evidence by machine     |
| **Supplier**                     | Entered by the supplier in the portal |
| **Buyer · Name**                 | Set by a person in your company       |
| **Import**                       | Loaded via CSV or the API             |

Clicking the chip opens the provenance in detail: **Source**, **Page**, **Person**, **Date**, **Passage read** and the note **"Machine-read"**.

## What the supplier sees

In the portal your supplier sees the same values read against their own fields — with **Correct** and a confirm action instead of your **Confirm**. Values **you** have already set cannot be overwritten by them; there it says **"Your customer has already set this value; it cannot be changed here."** See [Supplier view](/en/eudr/lieferantenansicht).

## FAQ

### How do I correct a value that was read?

Open the evidence in the document viewer, find the row and click **Correct**. Enter the right value and click **Save**. The value then carries the chip **"Buyer · your name"** — proving for any later audit that a person, not the analysis, decided it. The original value read, quote included, stays in the provenance.

If the value changed in the meantime — because the document was re-read, say — the panel reports **"The value has changed in the meantime — the view has been refreshed."** and shows the new state. Your entry never blindly overwrites.

### What does "automatically applied" mean?

The analysis was confident enough about this value to write it into the record without asking. That does **not** make it human-confirmed: the chip stays **Document**, not **Buyer**. You can confirm or correct it at any time. Conversely, **"to review"** does not mean the value is wrong — only that the analysis would not take sole responsibility for it.

### I cannot see the value list

Then **AI document review** is not enabled for your company (**Settings → Automations**), or the document has not been analysed yet. On **"Analysing…"** wait for the run; on **"Analysis failed"** restart it via **Re-analyse**.
