Detailed Itemization is the default mode that breaks receipts into multiple budget categories (like plumbing and electrical), while Single Entry mode consolidates all items into one total transaction for large, single-category purchases.
You can toggle between two modes depending on how you want your data organized:
- Detailed Itemization (Default): Best for retail receipts (Home Depot, Lowe's) where one receipt contains items for multiple categories. For example, if you buy a toilet (Plumbing), a light fixture (Electrical), and trim (Finish Carpentry) at once, the AI will create separate line items for each.
- Single Entry: This consolidates all receipt items into one single expense entry. This is best for large, single-category purchases. For example, if you buy a $10,000 appliance package with 20 items that all go toward the "Appliances" category, Single Entry will create one $10,000 transaction rather than 20 individual ones.
