What Data for This Category Looks Like
Duty-free category financial report data primarily comes from periodic reports of listed companies disclosed by domestic and overseas stock exchanges, as well as publicly available industry operation briefings. Data updates follow fixed disclosure cycles: quarterly reports are disclosed within 45 days after the end of the reporting period, semi-annual reports within 60 days, and annual reports within 120 days. Most documents are in PDF format, containing standardized consolidated financial statement sections, plus segmented note paragraphs dedicated to duty-free business. Fields include duty-free merchandise sales revenue, offshore duty-free revenue, number of in-city duty-free stores, and more. Units are mostly ten thousand yuan or RMB yuan. Document lengths range from dozens to hundreds of pages.
What Constraints Do These Characteristics Impose on the Citation Source and Traceability Workflow
The segmented business fields of duty-free financial reports differ from general financial reports. Traceability requires precise matching of duty-free-related paragraphs to avoid retrieving non-business data. Fixed disclosure cycles require traceability information to be bound to the reporting period and disclosure date, ensuring data timeliness. Long document structures require retaining contextual associations during parsing, to avoid losing business logic after splitting. Additionally, duty-free business data varies across reporting periods. Cross-period data mixing must be avoided, so the traceability workflow must strictly link to the disclosure information of the corresponding report.
Configuration Settings
| Configuration Item | Recommended Value | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
Recall Count | Top 8 entries | Duty-free financial reports contain segmented business paragraphs. Too many recalls will introduce irrelevant data, while too few will lose valid business information |
Similarity Threshold | 0.75–0.85 | Duty-free business-specific keywords have high recognition. A threshold that is too low will retrieve irrelevant financial report paragraphs, while a threshold that is too high will miss valid content |
Citation Template | {{content}} (Source: {{source}}, Disclosure Date: {{publish_date}}, Reporting Period: {{report_period}}) | Must clearly mark the source, disclosure time, and reporting cycle of duty-free financial reports to meet traceability requirements |
PARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS | 300 seconds | Duty-free financial report documents have long lengths, requiring sufficient parsing time to avoid timeout failures |
Segment Length | 800–1200 characters | Financial report paragraphs are long. Segmentation retains contextual associations to avoid losing business logic after splitting |
Reranked Return Count | Top 3 entries | Prioritize displaying the most relevant duty-free business data, avoiding excessive content that interferes with responses |
The parameter values provided on this page are common starting points for configuration. Actual values are influenced by material format, data volume, and business rules. Specific scenarios require tailored analysis. Testing on local samples is recommended before finalizing settings.
Three Common Mistakes
- Phenomenon: After configuring a custom citation template, no traceability information is displayed at the end of the response paragraph. Cause: The
Enable Citationfunction switch is not activated, or the citation template does not include required placeholders such as {{source}} and {{publish_date}}. - Phenomenon: A
504 Gateway Timeouterror may occur when parsing duty-free financial reports. Recommended adjustment: Tune relevant thresholds based on statistics or testing of local samples. Cause: The value set forPARSE_FILE_TIMEOUT_SECONDSis lower than the time required for document parsing. - Phenomenon: Non-duty-free business financial report data is included in responses. Cause: The
Similarity Thresholdis set below 0.7, or recall keywords dedicated to duty-free business fields are not configured.
How to Confirm Proper Configuration
- Upload a publicly available duty-free enterprise financial report PDF, trigger knowledge base question answering, and check if traceability information including source and disclosure date is displayed at the end of the response.
- View the logs of the knowledge base parsing task to confirm that the parsing duration does not exceed the preset timeout threshold.
- Compare the retrieved paragraph content with the duty-free business section of the original financial report to confirm that the matching degree between the retrieved content and the query meets expectations.
- Test continuous questioning to confirm that subsequent questions can link to previous financial report reporting period information, with no contextual breaks.
