An invoice and a payment receipt may describe the same expense. Keep their relationship clear before confirming both records as spending, especially when they arrived through different channels.
Count the expense once while preserving the evidence you need.
Start with the source
Compare provider, account reference, period and amount. A screenshot of the payment result may be useful evidence for the original bill without representing a second purchase. Similar totals alone do not prove duplication.
Make the review useful
Each source capture can contribute once to confirmed spending, but importing the same expense as two different captures can still create two records. Review duplicates yourself rather than expecting automatic bank-style matching.
Keep the next step clear
Choose the existing bill record as the place to update payment status when appropriate. Use notes to explain the receipt reference. If you retain an additional document, review whether it should be marked Not an expense instead of confirming the same amount again.

A little reference.
Keep the context and your next action together.
| Check | Example | Your next step |
|---|---|---|
| Invoice | Electricity bill for September | Original charge |
| Receipt | Payment of that September bill | Evidence of settlement |
| Duplicate | Same bill captured from email and SMS | Review before confirming both |
Will several actions on one capture multiply its spending?
No. Confirmed spending counts a source capture once; separate duplicate captures still need your review.
