What if it does not work?
- The receipt is missing from the yearly summary.
- The summary orders by invoice date. Without a date the receipt lands in the tax area's open-items list.
- A duplicate is reported.
- Two receipts share the same file or the same issuer-amount-date triple. Keep one and delete the other.
