Questions

Can two receipts have the same amount without being duplicates?

Yes. Amount alone is not enough. Compare invoice number, merchant, date, currency, and file fingerprint before deciding.

Does LedgerLens AI delete duplicates automatically?

No. It flags duplicates so the team can review them before deleting or dismissing the alert.
