CSV exports
Why summary CSV has review_event rows
The summary export includes separate exception rows so unresolved source events are not hidden behind grouped totals.
Inspect the source record
Filter the CSV's record_type column before doing any arithmetic and open the linked source event for each review row.
Build a focused report
Keep summary and review_event rows together in the original file, but aggregate only rows marked summary.
Read the result
The review_event amount fields describe an exception, such as a recorded tax total without matching tax lines.
A concrete example
A summary row of CAD 50 and a review_event with CAD 3 recorded tax are not a simple CAD 53 total.
Avoid this mistaken conclusion
Do not sum all numeric cells in the CSV. Review rows explain source problems and must not be added to grouped totals.
