sassafras

what happens when sassafras spots a duplicate

scan the same receipt twice and sassafras catches it before it lands in your list. saves you a real headache at quarter-end.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    scan as usual

    the second scan goes through the same flow.

  2. 2

    the duplicate dialog opens

    if vendor + date + total match a receipt you already saved, sassafras shows a "looks like a duplicate" prompt with a link to the existing one.

  3. 3

    pick: open existing or save anyway

    open existing is the right move 99% of the time — that's the whole point of the catch. save anyway is for the edge case where you legitimately bought the same thing twice on the same day.

    tip

    duplicate detection is per-bucket. scanning the same receipt into two different buckets won't trigger the warning — that's intentional, since the same expense rarely belongs to two businesses.
