Attaching receipts really that annoying?

Scanning paper receipts with the app seems good - but what about us mainly digital/online businesses?

 

For example - “QuickBooks expense” (picked up by linking my bank account) - do I really have to go to my QuickBooks account, download a pdf receipt, then upload it again back into QuickBooks to match my bank statement?

 

Do I have to go to my email from “supplier A” - download a pdf - then upload into QuickBooks. (why can’t I forward the email to QuickBooks?)

 

Do I have to log into EE phone & broadband account, then O2 work mobile, each month to download pdf to put into QuickBooks - why can’t they be linked?

 

Can quickbooks not link to amazon for receipts?

 

Can PayPal not be used as a receipt source instead of a bank account itself?

 

Linking receipts to the bank statement is the biggest pain - the taking photos with the app for paper receipts is great - but most people don’t even get paper receipts any more.

 

There needs to be better intergrarion with other services - and email forwarding - as part of the quickbooks package. Without having to pay for 3rd party addons.

Hi Lee

 

At the present time you will indeed have to upload PDF's, scanned images and photos you have emailed yourself to your expenses.

 

In respect of Paypal you can integrate the app to QuickBooks, there maybe an app available that accommodates Amazon.

 

Our products are evolving all the time with the assistance of feedback from our customers so we would encourage you to leave feedback with your requirements from within  the product

We use AutoEntry, which is a 3rd party add-on, and the invoices get posted along with the copy being attached.

 

It does cost a small amount per transaction but saves you the time of inputting (and will include all of the detail) and also acts as a great storage for the invoices you've received as they are easy to view.
