Hello pedi,

 

Thanks for connecting with us here. QuickBooks is designed to be an easy-to-use program. It's vital you're able to use the app without running into issues. Rest assured, I'll be happy to help so you're on the right track. 

 

Based on what you've described, I highly recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the app. This is a great way to troubleshoot issues that may be affecting the app. By reinstalling the app, this ensures you're on the latest version of the mobile app. I encourage you to try this out and let me know what happens. 

 

You're more than welcome to keep me posted in the comments below. I've got your back.

That did not work.  I uninstalled rebooted the phone, still cannot access the camera for "snap receipt".

 

As I started the QB it asked about using camera, location etc I said yes to

Same here... out of the blue, the camera to take a picture of the receipt is black and won't react. Worked 3 days ago as always. 

Was it resolved for you?

Hi there LCG Equipment,

 

Thanks for reaching out about receipt scanning. QuickBooks Online is a great tool able to scan receipts so you can keep a copy of th transaction in your books. I can provide some information about entering receipts.

 

If you've already tried deleting and reinstalling the app on your device, I also recommend going into the phone's settings to see if you've given the QuickBooks Online app access to the camera. For further assistance with this error, I recommend reaching out to the support team outside of the Community. They'll be able to provide further steps to resolve the error as well as collect the necessary information to notify the engineering team. You can reach them with these options:

 

  • Schedule a Callback or start a Chat: click (?)Help in the upper right in QuickBooks Online > type and enter "Contact support" into the QB Assistant > click Contact Us > explain your situation > click Let's Talk > choose Get a callback or Start a Chat.
  • Phone: dial 1-855-253-1536
