# FAQ

## Does Expensify account for duplicates?

Yes, Expensify will account for duplicates. Expensify works behind the scenes to identify duplicate expenses before they are submitted, warning employees when they exist. If a duplicate expense is submitted, the same warning will be shown to the approver responsible for reviewing the report.

## How do I resolve a duplicate expense?

If Concierge has let you know it's flagged a receipt as a duplicate, scanning the receipt again will trigger the same duplicate flagging.Users have the ability to resolve duplicates by either deleting the duplicated transactions, merging them, or ignoring them (if they are legitimately separate expenses of the same date and amount).

## What are the different Expense statuses?

There are a number of different expense statuses in Expensify:
1. **Unreported**: Unreported expenses are not yet part of a report (and therefore unsubmitted) and are not viewable by anyone but the expense creator/owner.
2. **Open**: Open expenses are on a report that's still in progress, and are unsubmitted. Your Policy Admin will be able to view them, making it a collaborative step toward reimbursement.
1. **Personal**: Personal expenses are not yet part of a report (and therefore unsubmitted) and are not viewable by anyone but the expense creator/owner.
2. **Draft**: Draft expenses are seen as still in progress, and are unsubmitted. Your Policy Admin will be able to view them, making this a collaborative step toward reimbursement.
3. **Processing**: Processing expenses are submitted, but waiting for approval.
4. **Approved**: If it's a non-reimbursable expense, the workflow is complete at this point. If it's a reimbursable expense, you're one step closer to getting paid.
5. **Reimbursed**: Reimbursed expenses are fully settled. You can check the Report Comments to see when you'll get paid.
6. **Closed**: Sometimes an expense accidentally ends up on your Individual Policy, falling into the Closed status. You’ll need to reopen the report and change the Policy by clicking on the **Details** tab in order to resubmit your report.

## What are Violations?

Violations represent errors or discrepancies that Expensify has picked up and need to be corrected before a report can be successfully submitted. The one exception is when an expense comment is added, it will override the violation - as the user is providing a valid reason for submission.

To enable or configure violations according to your policy, go to **Settings > Policies > _Policy Name_ > Expenses > Expense Violations**. Keep in mind that Expensify includes certain system mandatory violations that can't be disabled, even if your policy has violations turned off.

You can spot violations by the exclamation marks (!) attached to expenses. Hovering over the symbol will provide a brief description and you can find more detailed information below the list of expenses. The two types of violations are:
**Red**: These indicate violations directly tied to your report's Policy settings. They are clear rule violations that must be addressed before submission.
**Yellow**: Concierge will highlight items that require attention but may not necessarily need corrective action. For example, if a receipt was SmartScanned and then the amount was modified, we’ll bring it to your attention so that it can be manually reviewed.
