Rescan Customer PO OCR

POST 
/api/sales-orders/ocr/:extraction_id/rescan

Re-run OCR extraction on an existing Customer PO record. Resets status to 'processing', clears any prior error_message, and re-dispatches the OCR job. Useful when the extraction failed initially (status='failed') or when the matching/parsing logic has improved and the user wants to re-derive the extracted data from the original PDF or email body.

Returns 422 if:

  • Extraction is locked confirmed — i.e. status='confirmed' AND sales_order_id is non-null (already used to create a sales order that still exists — cannot be re-scanned). Orphaned confirmed extractions (linked sales order deleted, sales_order_id null via FK nullOnDelete()) are treated as unlocked and can be re-scanned.
  • Both file_path and source_body_text are null (no source content to re-scan)

Response 200:

{
  "data": {
    "extraction_id": 7,
    "tracked_job_log_id": 1234,
    "status": "processing"
  },
  "message": "Re-scan started"
}

The frontend subscribes to the returned tracked_job_log_id via the global JobProgressTray (job name starts with 'Customer PO OCR:') and re-fetches the extraction once the job completes.
