Questions

Why are ad receipts easy to duplicate?

They often arrive by email and can also be downloaded from the ad platform. Teams may upload both copies during month-end cleanup.

Should each ad receipt become one ledger row?

Usually yes for small teams. Larger teams may aggregate by platform and billing period after duplicate review.
