Receipt Date Mismatch Check

Check uploaded receipts against the expense dates they support. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

The receipts, their dates and the expense entry dates.

How it works

1. Record each receipt date.
2. Record the matching expense entry date.
3. Flag receipts dated far before the entry.
4. Return the check without editing expenses.

The output

receipt | receipt_date | expense_date | mismatch_days | verdict

Worked fictional example

Fictional review covered 58 uploaded receipts; 6 were dated over 30 days before the expense entry: 52 matched.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
