Edit expenses, review possible duplicates, and turn an expense into a bill

Fix an expense's amount, merchant, category, or date; delete it; understand the possible-duplicate flag; and turn an expense into a bill (just this month or every month).

What you'll get

Keep your expenses tidy: fix anything that was entered wrong, delete what doesn't belong, know when the same purchase may have been recorded twice, and move an expense that's really a fixed payment into your bills for the month.

Requirements
  • Have an internet connection: editing, deleting, and moving to bills all need a connection (adding an expense and taking a photo do work offline).
  • Have recorded at least one expense.

In Expenses, you see every entry with its merchant, date, time, category, and source. Under each one are three buttons: Edit, To bills, and Delete. Each one acts on that specific expense.

The Expenses list, with the actions for each entry.

#Edit an entry

Tapping Edit opens that expense in a form with fields for Amount, Category, Merchant or note, and Date and time. You can change any of them, including the exact date and time.

  1. In Expenses, find the entry and tap Edit.
  2. Adjust whatever you need: Amount, Category (or "No category"), Merchant or note, and Date and time.
  3. Tap Save changes. While it's saving, you'll see "Saving…".
  4. If you change your mind, tap Cancel before saving.
Note. The expense's source (By hand, Automatic, Receipt, or Apple Pay / Google Pay) is shown inside the form but can't be changed: it only tells you how that expense came in.
Keep in mind. The date can't be in the future and the amount must be greater than zero. If you enter a future date or an invalid amount, Monuvia flags it and won't save.

#Delete an entry

  1. Tap Delete on the expense you want to remove.
  2. Confirm in the message that appears (it shows the amount and the merchant).
  3. The button shows "One moment…" while it's deleting.
Keep in mind. Deleting an expense is permanent: there's no trash to recover it from. If you only want to correct it, use Edit instead of deleting it.

#Possible duplicate: just a flag to review

When two expenses have exactly the same amount and happened less than 20 minutes apart, Monuvia flags both with a "Possible duplicate" tag next to their date and category. This often happens when the same purchase comes in twice: for example, the automatic capture from Apple Pay / Google Pay plus an entry you added by hand.

Keep in mind. "Possible duplicate" is only a flag for you to review, not a block. Monuvia doesn't delete anything on its own: both expenses keep counting until you decide. Review them, and if they really are duplicates, delete one with Delete.

#Turn an expense into a bill

If an expense is really a fixed payment (a loan installment, a monthly subscription, a utility), you can move it to your bills. When you do, it stops counting as this week's spending and is recorded as an already-paid bill for the month it happened in.

  1. Tap To bills on the expense.
  2. Read the message: "It stops counting as this week's spending and moves to your bills for the month, already paid. Does it repeat every month?".
  3. Choose Just this month if it was a one-off, or Every month if it will repeat.
  4. To leave it as is, tap Cancel.
  • Just this month: creates (or reuses) the bill with that name but leaves it paused, so it only counts in the month that has a recorded payment and doesn't repeat.
  • Every month: leaves the bill active and schedules it every month, starting from the day the expense happened.
  • In both cases, the original expense is removed from the list and the amount no longer comes out of your week.
Note. If you already had a bill with the same name, Monuvia reuses it; if that month already had a payment, it adds the amount instead of duplicating the bill.
Note. These three actions (editing, deleting, and moving to bills) need a connection. If you're offline, you'll see the notice "Offline. This change needs a connection; try again when it's back.".

Common problems

I tap Save changes and it won't save.
Check that the amount is greater than zero and that the date isn't in the future; Monuvia flags the problem in red. If it's a connection problem, you'll see "Offline": try again once you have internet.
I see "Possible duplicate," but the expense isn't a duplicate.
That's normal: it's just a flag when the amount and time match (less than 20 minutes apart). If they turn out to be two separate purchases, leave them as they are; there's nothing you need to do.
I moved an expense to bills by mistake.
The original expense has already been removed, but you can go to Settings, open the Bills section, and edit or delete the bill that was created. Then add the expense again from Home if you need to.
I converted an expense to "Every month," but it shouldn't repeat.
Go to Settings › Bills, open that bill with Edit, and turn off the "Active (counts in your budget)" toggle to pause it, or delete it.
