sassafras

fix a receipt that scanned wrong

ai scanning gets ~95% of receipts right, but the other 5% — faded thermal, glare, weird formatting — need a quick manual cleanup. takes 30 seconds.

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    open the receipt

    click any receipt in your sassafras list. the photo shows on the left and the parsed fields (vendor, date, total, tax, category) show on the right.

  2. 2

    edit the wrong fields

    click any field to edit it. you can fix the vendor, the total, the date, the tax, or any line item. the receipt photo stays put as a reference so you can verify against the original.

  3. 3

    save

    the corrected receipt updates everywhere — your receipts list, your katydid expense feed, your tax-time export. the original photo stays attached for audit purposes.

    tip

    if a vendor consistently scans wrong (small local shop with hand-written receipts, for example), you can set up a vendor alias in sassafras settings. teach it once that "pinky's deli" is the vendor and every future receipt from them parses right.
