Is anyone else finding their scan receipts to be really glitchy lately and either have to scan them five or six times or even wait a cpl hours before they will process?

I just find it really frustrating you scan it and it kicks me right at a QuickBooks or are you scan it and it kicks me back to the sign in for QuickBooks or you scan it and it says processing and then text you back into the sign and eventually it will process the scan the receipt properly in 2016 but it's nine times out of 10 not good

Thank you for informing us about your situation, @sean107. I understand how frustrating it must be to encounter repeated issues when scanning receipts. This is certainly not the experience we want you to have. I appreciate your patience and the steps you already took. Rest assured, I am here to help resolve this issue so you can focus on your work without unnecessary obstacles.

 

To start, make sure your QuickBooks app is updated to the latest version, as updates often resolve bugs and improve overall functionality.

 

In the meantime, you can follow these troubleshooting steps specific to your device to clear temporary files that might be impacting its performance and help it run smoothly.

 

Here's how:

 

For iOS:
 

  1. Tap Settings, then General.
  2. Select iPhone Storage, click the QuickBooks Online app.
  3. Press Offload App.

Android:
 

  1. Go to Menu and select More Options.
  2. Click Settings, then Refresh Data.
  3. Tap YES to confirm.

 

After completing these steps, restart your device before attempting to scan receipts again, as this can help resolve the issue.

 

If the issue persists, I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the QuickBooks app to refresh the system setup. This will make sure that you are using the latest version of the mobile app. Alternatively, you can upload your receipt using a web browser on your mobile device or computer as a workaround.

 

Thank you so much for your patience. You deserve a smooth experience, and I’ll make sure we get this sorted out for you. If you’re able to scan your receipts, just make sure the details are clear and easy to read since that will help us resolve the issue more quickly. Feel free to reach out if you have any updates or questions.
