Upload Contract Documents

Upload one or more contract PDF files to begin the extraction process. After a file is uploaded, Yarken automatically validates the document, extracts key contract information, and prepares it for review before publication.

Before you upload

Before uploading a contract, ensure that:

Contract Document Extraction has been enabled.
You have access to Designer > Accounts Payable > Contracts.
Your document is in PDF format.
Each file contains a single contract.
The document is complete, clear, and readable.

Supported documents

Contract Document Extraction is designed to process signed commercial documents that represent a contractual agreement.

Supported document types

You can upload:

Signed contracts
Signed commercial agreements
Signed quotes
Signed purchase orders
Signed commercial proposals

Unsupported document types

The following document types are not considered valid contracts and may be rejected during processing:

Unsigned agreements
Draft agreements without signatures
Marketing brochures
Resumes
Blank contract templates
General proposals or informational documents that do not represent a binding agreement

Document requirements

For the best extraction results, ensure that each uploaded document:

Is provided as a PDF.
Contains only one contract.
Includes all contract pages in a single document.
Is clear and readable.
Identifies both the vendor and customer.
Includes pricing, commercial terms, or financial information.
Contains at least one signature, digital signature, signature block, signature date, or signature confirmation.

Upload a single, complete contract as one PDF. Avoid uploading document packages that rely on separate appendices or cross-referenced documents, as these can reduce extraction accuracy.

What qualifies as a valid contract?

Before extracting information, Yarken evaluates whether the uploaded document appears to be a valid contract. Documents are generally accepted when they include:

At least one signature or signature confirmation.
Clear identification of both contracting parties.
Services, deliverables, products, or contractual obligations.
Pricing, fees, or other commercial terms.

Examples

Document	Expected result
Signed master services agreement	Accepted
Signed quote	Accepted
Signed purchase order	Accepted
Signed commercial proposal	Accepted
Unsigned agreement	May be rejected
Marketing brochure	Rejected
Resume	Rejected
Blank contract template	Rejected

Note:

Documents that do not meet the validation criteria may be marked as Invalid Contract and require review before they can proceed.

Upload a contract

Procedure

Navigate to Designer > Accounts Payable > Contracts > Contract Extraction.
Select Upload.
Drag and drop one or more PDF files into the upload window, or select Browse to locate the files.
Verify that the selected files are correct.
Select Upload to begin processing.

What happens after upload?

After the upload is complete, Yarken automatically:

Adds each file to the processing queue.
Validates whether the document is a supported contract.
Extracts key contract information.
Assigns a processing status.
Flags contracts that require manual review.

No additional action is required while processing is in progress.

Upload multiple contracts

You can upload multiple contract PDF files in a single operation.

Yarken processes a limited number of documents concurrently. If the processing queue is busy, additional files remain in the Pending status until processing resources become available.

Large batch uploads may take longer to process. You can monitor the progress of each document from the Contract Extraction page.

Verification

To verify that your upload was successful:

Confirm that each uploaded file appears in the Contract Extraction page.
Check that a processing status has been assigned.
Wait for processing to complete before reviewing the extracted information.
