Flag a suspicious receipt

What flagging does

Flagging marks a receipt as suspicious — meaning you do not want it included in your VAT calculations or analytics until it is reviewed.

Flagged receipts are automatically excluded from:

  • Your VAT return (input VAT is not claimed)
  • Your analytics and profit calculations
  • Your bank reconciliation match pool

The receipt is not deleted. It stays in your records so you have a history of what was received and questioned.


When to flag a receipt

  • A receipt failed TRA verification and you cannot correct the Z-number
  • You suspect the receipt may be for a personal expense, not a business expense
  • The receipt was entered in error (wrong company, wrong period) and you are not sure yet whether to delete it
  • A supplier gave you a receipt you are uncertain about and you want to set it aside while you investigate

How to flag a receipt

  1. Open the receipt from Expenses → Receipt List.
  2. Click Flag receipt (or the flag icon 🚩 in the receipt row).
  3. Add an optional note explaining why it is flagged.
  4. Click Confirm.

The receipt row turns orange/red in the list to make it visually distinct.


Unflagging a receipt

If you investigate and confirm the receipt is legitimate:

  1. Open the flagged receipt.
  2. Click Remove flag.

The receipt is immediately included again in VAT calculations and analytics.


Deleting a receipt

If the receipt is completely wrong and should not exist in your records at all, use Delete instead of flagging. Deletion is permanent.
