The tour settlements that read themselves into NetSuite

OCR and OpenAI read Manhead's atVenu tour-settlement PDFs and write NetSuite-ready import files.

The problem

Manhead Merchandise sells merch on tour, and every show ends with a settlement: a PDF from atVenu with the night's sales and taxes.

Those numbers have to reach NetSuite, the company's ERP, in the shape NetSuite imports.

What I built

Python and Tesseract OCR read each settlement PDF, multi-page ones included, and write NetSuite-ready CSV files, with tax split by venue and sales split by artist.

An OpenAI-assisted version of the same pipeline reads the same pages.

It runs in Docker on Render.

What happened

Settlements go from an atVenu PDF to a NetSuite import file.

Manhead is the same company as the side-by-side NetSuite migration, and I run 11 live systems for them today.

What this proves

Document extraction from real-world PDFs into an ERP's own import format.
