First weighing and reweigh reconciliation
Store each ticket as its own event and join reweighs in the application. A reweigh charge is not cargo value, and the newer event must not silently overwrite the original measurement. Operational teams often receive photos from drivers alongside orders, invoices and delivery messages. Start by identifying the actual weighing document and keeping it associated with the correct movement. A ticket number can repeat across facilities, and a familiar vehicle may carry several loads in one day. Neither field should be used alone as a global transaction key.
Keep measured evidence separate from business decisions
The weighbridge ticket endpoint returns facility, parties, job, vehicle, material, weights and timestamps when readable. Gross, tare and net retain their printed raw text, numeric value and unit, with normalized_kg for supported units. Deterministic validation is reported separately; calculated net is not a replacement for an absent printed net. Use gross, tare and net validation to inspect arithmetic, then apply the acceptance rules for your own transport or accounting workflow.

Operational mapping
Document-specific review
Store each ticket as its own event and join reweighs in the application. A reweigh charge is not cargo value, and the newer event must not silently overwrite the original measurement.
Join the movement, not just the truck
Combine facility, ticket number, vehicle and available timestamps with a dispatch reference. Retain ambiguous matches in a queue instead of attaching a delivery to the first matching vehicle.
Separate units from amounts
Use normalized_kg for comparisons while retaining the printed unit and raw value. A number without an identifiable unit needs review; a fee or material code must not become a weight.
Keep extraction and settlement separate
Use printed net mass as one input to a downstream workflow. Price, grade, tax, customs clearance and operational acceptance require their own evidence and rules.

Key Features
- Scenario boundary: Store each ticket as its own event and join reweighs in the application. A reweigh charge is not cargo value, and the newer event must not silently overwrite the original measurement.
- Ticket identity: ticket_number and facility help identify the source; job and order references support operational joins.
- Vehicle: Keep truck, trailer, fleet and driver references in their respective fields.
- Printed weight: Retain raw, value and unit before using normalized_kg for comparison.
- Validation: Inspect needs_review and review_reasons; missing weights can be a valid feature of the document, not proof of a complete measurement set.
Extract and check a weighing ticket
Send one photographed ticket and inspect the validation object before importing it. The API checks supported weight arithmetic; it does not certify a scale or approve a shipment.

An illustrative record, not a scan from an operator or customs authority. Printed gross minus tare matches the printed net in this example.

}Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check for first weighing and reweigh reconciliation?
Store each ticket as its own event and join reweighs in the application. A reweigh charge is not cargo value, and the newer event must not silently overwrite the original measurement.
What if only gross weight is printed?
Keep tare and net missing. The validator can flag the incomplete weight set for review. Do not invent an empty-vehicle weight from another truck or copy a capacity rating into the ticket.
Does this certify a load or approve customs clearance?
No. It extracts printed evidence and checks supported weight arithmetic. Certification, legal limits, declarations and release decisions remain separate processes.
Can it extract axle groups or container identifiers into dedicated fields?
The current schema has gross, tare and net weight objects and truck/trailer registration fields. It has no dedicated axle-group array or container-number field. Use another extractor or a reviewed extension for those requirements.
How can I avoid counting the same load twice?
Keep each scan as an event and reconcile ticket number, facility, vehicle and time with your dispatch record. Reweighs, corrections and first/second weighings must remain distinguishable.
