A LITTLE LIFE GUIDE / TROUBLESHOOTING

Use bill categories consistently

Category bars become useful when similar bills are filed the same way.

Category bars become useful when similar bills are filed the same way. Spend a moment choosing the right type during review rather than trying to interpret mixed groups later.

THE LITTLE THING TO REMEMBER

Consistent categories make a modest recorded dashboard easier to understand.

01

Start with the source

Choose Electricity bill, Hospital bill or Other bill according to the source’s purpose. A clinical report should not be treated as a hospital invoice, and a subscription price estimate should not become a paid bill merely to fit a chart.

02

Make the review useful

When a bill is miscategorized, open its record and correct the reviewed metadata. Inspect the source before changing it. A category label organizes the record; it does not establish that the amount or payment status is correct.

03

Keep the next step clear

Review category-specific limits after reorganizing records because the group of contributing bills may have changed. Keep the month and currency selection consistent when comparing views, and remember that the bars only describe recorded confirmed spending.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

One step at a time.

  1. 01

    Choose the category that matches the document type.

  2. 02

    Review amount and payment status independently.

  3. 03

    Correct misfiled records using their source evidence.

  4. 04

    Recheck category bars and limits after moving records.

A little reference.

ONE MORE QUESTION

Does choosing a bill category confirm its amount as spending?

No. Paid status, a valid record date and the spending confirmation are separate requirements; classification alone does not confirm a payment.

Your source stays the reference.

These guides explain product workflows. Review extracted names, dates and amounts. Features depend on your device, permissions and optional service setup.
