Override decisions

Step in and fix a receipt's result when the automatic check got it wrong. Open a receipt and use the action panel to correct most outcomes. This is what makes a receipt challenge workable in real life, where the automatic reading of receipt text (called OCR) is helpful but not perfect.

The three operator actions

Each action does one job:

• Valider (approve) — forces the receipt to a valid state. Use this when a genuine receipt was wrongly held back or refused.
• Refuser (refuse) — forces the receipt to a refused state. Use this when a receipt clearly breaks the challenge rules.
• Modifier (edit) — corrects the store name and amount that were read off the receipt, then re-checks it against your rules. Use this when the reading was wrong but the receipt is real.

What editing actually does

Modifier is more than a cosmetic fix. After you change the store name or amount, OmniLab runs the whole acceptance check again from scratch.

So an edited receipt can land in one of three states:

• valid — if it passes your rules and validation is automatic
• pending — if it passes your rules and validation is manual, so it waits for review
• refused — if the new values still break your rules

Good reasons to step in

• The reading missed one digit in the amount.
• A human can clearly read the store name, but the automatic reading got it wrong.
• A genuine receipt was refused because the reading came back incomplete.
• A duplicate or invalid result needs a confirmed human decision.

When not to step in

• The receipt clearly belongs to the wrong store.
• The amount or date does not meet the published challenge rules.
• The shopper is deliberately reusing the same proof of purchase.
