</Frame>

All receipts will appear under the "Attachments" tab and will be ready to match to a transaction.

## Reviewing matches

All matches are ready for Admin review on the **Not Reviewed** tab (details on when transactions get into "Not Reviewed" status). You can also view matched receipts on the "Transaction details" screen.

### Review menu

Once a receipt is matched, you'll have the ability to review and approve the transaction on the **Not reviewed** tab to ensure all necessary items such as the receipt image, tags and notes are correct. More info [here](/administrator-guide/how-to-review-transactions-with-receipts-tags-and-user-notes). You'll be able to identify these matches with the sparkle icon and the "Auto match" label.

## Editing receipts

PEX will take a best guess at matching the receipt image to a transaction based on things like the vendor name, amount and time of the transaction. If you need to replace the receipt matched to a transaction, you can:

* Replace a receipt:
  * Click **Edit**
  * Click on the **Replace receipt** icon
  * Replace the image
  * Click **Save**

* Delete a receipt:
  * Click **Edit**
  * Click on the **Trash bin** icon
  * Click **Delete** in the confirmation message
  * Click **Save**

* Delete a receipt (alternate method):
  * Click on the cross icon
  * Click **Delete** in the confirmation message

If a receipt is edited or deleted, the image will reappear in the Attachments tab.

## Waiting for a match

Some transactions may appear in PEX later than when you send the receipt. Examples include:

1. **Amazon**: Transactions may not immediately appear because Amazon processes payments only when items are ready to ship. This means there could be a gap between when the receipt is sent and when the transaction posts.
2. **Hotels**: These merchants often authorize charges after checkout, leading to a delay between the stay and the final charge appearing on the account.
3. **Airlines/Travel Agencies**: Travel-related transactions may be delayed due to ticketing, reservations, or itinerary changes.

As a result, you might see a "Waiting for a Match" message on the receipt thumbnail. PEX is waiting for your transaction to appear to auto-match it.

</Frame>

Hovering over the clock icon will show the next scheduled attempt for auto-matching.

While PEX is waiting for a match:

* You can manually match the receipt.
* You cannot edit the receipt.
* You can delete the receipt.

## Detecting duplicates

PEX has built in detection to look for duplicate attachments. If one of the receipt images is a potential duplicate, it will be flagged with an (i) and a potential duplicate attachment warning.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="When is an Auto match made?">
    PEX attempts to match a receipt to a transaction each time you or your cardholders:

    * Manually uploaded a receipt to the "Attachments" tab
    * Sent a receipt via [SMS](/administrator-guide/text-to-pex-admin-guide)
    * Sent a receipt via [email](/administrator-guide/email-to-pex-admin-guide)

    Transactions that have already been approved or with an existing receipt will not be included in the match.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does PEX do the matching?">
    PEX uses AI and looks at data such as cardholder, merchant name, date and amount of the transaction.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the match work on AUTH and Settled transactions?">
    PEX will look for both AUTH and Settled purchases as long as they are not yet approved or have an existing receipt.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens if the auto match is not correct?">
    Admins can remove or delete an auto match from a transaction, the receipt will reappear in the "Attachments" tab and can be attached to the correct transaction.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why didn't my receipt match?">
    To ensure best matching results:

    * Ensure your receipt has a date and total amount paid visible.
    * Submit receipts only for purchases made using your PEX card.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens to the cardholder receipt?">
    Once PEX makes an auto match, the receipt is matched to the transaction and ready for review.
