Editing & Deleting
Editing Your Expenses
Every expense in Spentrip is fully editable after you save it. You can change the merchant name, adjust dates, add or remove line items, update prices, switch categories, and modify tags. The editing experience is the same whether the expense was scanned, typed, or spoken.
Open any expense from your home screen and tap the edit button to start making changes.
What You Can Edit
Receipt Details
- Merchant name
- Date
- Currency
- Receipt-level discount
- Tags (add, remove, or change)
Line Items
- Add new items
- Edit item name, quantity, price
- Change item category
- Adjust item-level discounts
- Remove items
What You Can't Change
- Source type — How the expense was originally added (scanned, manual, or voice) is recorded permanently. You can't change a manual entry to appear as a scan.
- Uploaded file or image — The original receipt photo or PDF is attached permanently. You can't swap it out for a different file.
Rescanning a Receipt
For expenses that were originally scanned, you have a Rescan option. This sends the original image or PDF back through the AI for a fresh extraction. It's useful when the first scan missed something or got a detail wrong.
Rescan replaces your changes
If you've made manual edits to a scanned receipt, rescanning will overwrite those changes with fresh AI-extracted data. The app warns you before proceeding so you don't lose corrections by accident.
Deleting Expenses
You can delete any expense you have permission to edit. Open the expense, tap the delete option, and confirm.
Deletion is permanent
There is no undo, no trash folder, and no recovery. Once you delete an expense, it's gone. Make sure you want to remove it before confirming.
Permissions in Shared Trips
In shared trips, editing and deleting permissions depend on your role:
Trip Owner
- Edit any receipt in the trip
- Delete any receipt in the trip
- Move receipts between trips
Trip Member
- Edit your own receipts
- Delete your own receipts
- Cannot edit other members' receipts
- Cannot delete other members' receipts
Your own receipts are always fully under your control. You can edit and delete them without restrictions, even in shared trips.
Tips
Edit with Voice
If you have premium, you can use Edit with Voice to describe changes verbally instead of tapping through fields. Say something like "change the merchant to Walmart and remove the second item."
Rescan Before Editing
If a scanned receipt has many errors, try rescanning first. It's faster than correcting each field manually, and you can always tweak the results afterward.
Moving Receipts
Trip owners can move receipts between trips. This is useful when an expense was logged in the wrong trip or needs to be reassigned.
