Pine Assembly Workshop: Carrier invoice whose fuel surcharge uses the wrong basis on one line

Carrier invoice whose fuel surcharge uses the wrong basis on one line for Pine Assembly Workshop. The 13 billable shipments with a TOTAL row. Every line is correct except SHIP-07, whose fuel_surcharge was computed on the weight charge alone: 53.68 times 0.065 gives 3.49 instead of 5.05 on the base plus weight charge. The line is 1.56 light and the TOTAL row reads 859.63 against the correct 861.19.

Testing contract

Expected to fail
Scenario
Check the footer total against the line sum, then re-rate every line from rate-sheet.json and compare.
Expected result
The footer check passes: the 13 lines really do sum to 859.63. Re-rating from the rate sheet fails on SHIP-07 only, which is 1.56 short because the surcharge omitted the 24.00 base charge. An invoice audit that only checks that the lines add up accepts the whole document.

What is a .csv file?

CSV (Comma-Separated Values) is a plain-text tabular format where rows are lines and fields are separated by commas, with quoting rules for values that contain delimiters, quotes, or newlines. It has no formal type system and depends on encoding and dialect conventions. It is the most portable format for tabular data exchange.

How to use this file

Use an example CSV to test parsers against quoting and embedded-delimiter edge cases, header handling, encoding detection, and import pipelines into databases or spreadsheets.

How to use this file for testing

“Pine Assembly Workshop: Carrier invoice whose fuel surcharge uses the wrong basis on one line” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import, Error handling. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: 14 rows. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Data fixtures document their exact quirks (delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts) in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.
