When to edit a receipt

Stareceipt's AI recognition is accurate for most captures, but you may need to edit an entry when:

A field was misread (e.g. a digit was swapped in the total amount).
The category was not what you expected — merchant rules may not yet exist for this vendor.
You want to add context: a note, a tag, or a project label.
You want to attach a supporting document (e.g. a warranty card or delivery confirmation).

Opening the edit view

Web:

Open the receipt list in any workspace.
Click on the receipt entry to open the detail panel.
Click Edit (pencil icon) in the top-right of the panel.

Mobile:

Tap the receipt entry in the list.
Tap the pencil icon or the Edit button at the bottom of the screen.

Editable fields

Field	Notes
Receipt date	The single date printed on the receipt or invoice. It is independent of when you captured or uploaded the file.
Total amount	The final charged amount including tax.
Tax amount	GST, HST, VAT, or any other tax figure printed on the receipt.
Merchant name	Visible and editable in shared receipt-detail models.
Category	Select from your organisation's category list.
Currency	Useful for foreign-currency receipts — see Multi-currency Receipts.
Labels / Tags	Add one or more labels for cross-workspace filtering — see Labels & Tags.
Note	Free-text field for any context you want to attach (e.g. "Client dinner — quarterly review").

Click Save when done. Changes are synced to all devices immediately.

Stareceipt keeps any raw dates found during recognition for compatibility and diagnostics, but normal editing exposes only Receipt date. Changing it updates the date used by lists, sorting, reconciliation, reports, and exports; you do not need to manage transaction, payment, and due dates separately.

Review actions

Current shared clients also support explicit review actions for receipts that still need confirmation.

Attachments

Shared receipt APIs and detail views include attachment support. If your client exposes attachment editing, use the attachment controls inside the receipt detail view.

Workspace switching

Current shared receipt-detail flows can move a receipt to another workspace / organisation using the switch-workspace action.

What this page does not assume

This page does not assume a universal re-recognition button, image-replacement action, bulk-edit surface, or end-user activity-log panel unless your current client explicitly exposes those controls.
