Duplicate transactions detected

Why duplicates are rare

Rasmerk uses two deduplication layers:

1. SMS Message ID — each SMS has a unique system ID that is recorded after import.
2. Raw message body — the full SMS text is checked against existing transactions.

If you see a duplicate warning

Rasmerk shows a warning when it detects a transaction that closely matches an existing one. This can happen if:

• You manually added a transaction AND the same SMS was auto-imported.
• Two separate SMS from the same bank arrived at nearly the same time (e.g., debit alert + confirmation).

What to do

1. Open both suspected duplicates.
2. Check the raw SMS body (if imported from SMS) — different bodies = different transactions.
3. Check the time — two transactions at the exact same amount but different timestamps are likely legitimate.
4. Delete the duplicate if confirmed.

Clearing dedupe history

If you want to re-import SMS that was previously marked as imported, go to Settings → SMS Import → Clear Import History. Use with caution — this may create duplicates.
