Receipts and expenses

Point the camera at a receipt and the details fill themselves in. Everything stays editable until the receipt goes on a claim.

Adding a receipt

1. Tap the + button, then Add a receipt.
2. Scan it with the camera, or import a photo or a PDF you already have.
3. The merchant, date, total and any tax fill themselves in.

You can work through a stack in one go rather than one at a time, which is the difference between a two minute job on a Friday and an evening of it.

Fixing anything read wrong

Every field can be edited until the receipt goes on a claim. Where Reclaim is not confident about a figure it says so on the receipt rather than presenting a guess as a fact, so you know which ones to look at.

If the same shop comes out wrong every time, send us one of the receipts from the Help area in the app and we will look at it.

Fuel and the sandwich

Buy fuel and lunch on the same receipt and Reclaim claims the fuel and shows you exactly what it left out. You see the decision rather than having to trust it, and you can change it.

What happens after a claim

Receipts that went out on a claim are marked as submitted. They stay in the app and in any export you take, and the next claim will not pick them up again. If you need to send one a second time, resending a claim produces a clearly labelled copy and changes nothing.

Expenses without mileage

If you only claim expenses and never mileage, turn Track mileage off in Settings. Trip tracking disappears from the app and claims cover receipts alone.
