No — ExpenseBot only considers a receipt a duplicate if the same receipt is already in your spreadsheet.
✅ How duplicate detection works: • Before adding a receipt, ExpenseBot checks your spreadsheet for a match • If the receipt is already there, it's skipped to prevent double entries • A missing row alone does not prove that processing failed: the file may still be pending or held for review
💡 Check the outcome before resubmitting: Do not upload the same file again while processing is pending, while it is held for review, or when its outcome is unknown. Check the processing result first. For a supported upload hold, follow the Files to review card on Add Expenses, not Review expenses or Gmail's Action Needed. If the result explicitly asks for a clearer, unlocked, or corrected source, supply that source. If there is no usable next step, contact support@expensebot.ai. Duplicate detection is a safeguard, not a guarantee that repeating an uncertain submission is safe.
🧹 Seeing existing duplicates in your sheet? Open My Reports → Review expenses and use Omit on the duplicate row. Omit keeps the row and receipt available for reference, but leaves it out of future reports, exports, tax calculations, and insights. If you are not sure which row is the duplicate, contact support@expensebot.ai before changing it.
