Contract Intake

There are three ways a contract enters Alforse:

Manual entry
Spreadsheet import
Scanned PDF + OCR

Fill in the contract form directly. This maps to POST /contracts — see Contracts for every field (parties, equipment, pricing, payment terms, dates, and the initial payment plan).

Bulk-create contracts from a prepared import payload via POST /contracts/import.

Available on the Team plan and above (OCR_ENABLED=true in the API’s configuration). The flow is:

Upload the file through the presign → object-store PUT → confirm flow (POST /files/presign, then POST /files/confirm) — see Files.
Run extraction: POST /contracts/extract.
Review the extracted fields and confirm or correct them: PATCH /contracts/extractions/:runId/review.

OCR extraction runs through the document-ai.alforse.com adapter. Contract originals and OCR full text are treated as highly confidential — they are not sent to external AI providers or returned in default API responses.

After intake

Once a contract exists, you can attach payment terms, notes, fulfillment tasks, and invoice records to it — see Contracts for the :id/terms, :id/notes, :id/fulfillment-tasks, and :id/invoices endpoints, and Payments & Invoices for the payment side.
