Warnings for duplicate expenses

If you save an expense and another one already has the same invoice number and the same supplier, Factura Fácil warns you. The warning flags the possible duplicate so you can look at it.

When the warning appears

The warning compares invoice number and supplier. If another expense in the books matches on both, the app shows it. The same document then does not have to land twice in the quarter because it arrived by photo, by email, and by WhatsApp. You decide what to do with the entry. The app does not replace the review of whoever closes the taxes.

  • Same invoice number.
  • Same supplier.
  • The warning is there so you can check the overlap.

What to look at

Open both records and keep the right document. A repeated number with a different supplier is not this warning: both matches are required. Recording expenses without losing the paper is in expense tracking for autónomos.

Common questions

Does the warning block the expense?

It warns you when another expense has the same invoice number and the same supplier. You review which of the two should stay.

Does it warn if only the supplier is repeated?

It needs the same invoice number and the same supplier. With only one of those two matches, this warning does not describe the case.
