Uploading receipts – three options
You can upload receipts in three different ways:
Take a photo (using your camera)
Select an image from your gallery
Upload a PDF document
Once you choose an option, the upload starts automatically – you don’t need to do anything else. In the following video, we show all three ways to upload receipts:
How do I know if my receipt was uploaded successfully?
✅ Green checkmark = Everything completed.
If you see a small green checkmark next to the receipt, it means:
The receipt was uploaded successfully.
It has reached us
It is being processed automatically
You don’t need to do anything else.
🔴 Red icon = upload still in progress
If you see a red icon:
The upload has not been completed yet
Important:
The app will automatically try to upload the receipt again in the background as soon as an internet connection is available. You do not need to start the upload again.
What happens after the upload?
Once the receipt has been uploaded (green checkmark):
We have received it
It will be processed automatically and assigned to the corresponding transaction
If automatic assignment is not possible, it will later appear in your to-dos in the web app
Your overall bookkeeping process remains unchanged.
Can I delete an uploaded receipt?
Yes, but only in the preview (upload preview).
As soon as the green icon is visible, you can no longer delete the receipt yourself. While you are still in the preview, you can delete the receipt using the small red "x" cross (see image below).
Important:
After a successful upload (green checkmark):
The receipt can no longer be deleted by you
