Today I spent a € 10,- from Austria without having entered that note on this EBT.com. I got a € 5,- from Belgium as change and spent that one 5 minutes later also without entering it

Any tips how to right myself again?

Hey, c'mon, it's no big sin spending notes before inserting them into the database!!! We forgive you... that is... next time make sure you write down the serial and the shortcode before spending the notes!

I ALWAYS do, this time I was in a hurry.
But when I got home, I felt my stupid deeds earlier that morning were irreversible.

The thought that these two notes would have been your first two hits, on the other hand, should be comforting

Personally, I'm against writing down serials to enter bills later. You can get big errors easily like that.
A scenario:
You're shopping. You get a bill as change. Because there isn't a computer around, you write down the short code and serial, intending to enter the bill later. A bit later, you spend the bill again. The store clerk has access to the internet and enters it. When you come home, you enter the bill after the store clerk, while you had it before him

That's the sort of thing that shouldn't happen.

I had once case like this, I simply put my date in comments. In think it would work fine, I entered notes many days later so date was enough.

If the only pen you've got is at cash desk (to sign card receipts) I understand that you may feel funny writing down serials before spending the money

And for the sinner, how about stopping people on street to ask swap money with you. When you get the money you write down serial and stop another person. Five times is enough for the first time offense

(No intention to make fun of certain religions which have atonements for sins..)

Therefore we have a comment field to enter the right date.
