Should I use the 'expense' or 'snap receipt' option when capturing a printed travel receipt (e.g taxi receipt) when using the quickbooks app? Thanks

Hi there, jm49.

 

I'm glad that you were able to include about using the QuickBooks app. It helps me to provide you with accurate information and help you know what feature you'll be going to use for capturing the printed travel. 

 

We can use the Receipt snap feature to scan receipts and upload them directly to QuickBooks. It allows you to view the receipts you already reviewed in the mobile app. All the captured receipts will appear on the Receipts tab together with the receipts you've added if there are many.

 

Here are the steps on how to do it:
 

  1. Tap the Menu ≡.
  2. Select Receipt snap.
  3. Choose Receipt Camera and snap a photo of your receipt.
  4. Tap Use this photo.
  5. Then, Done.

 

Aside from that, you may want to email the receipts to QuickBooks. This way, we can extract the information and create transactions so you can review them. To gather more details and tips about it, I encourage you to visit this article: Capture and categorise receipts and bills.

 

Let me know if you have other clarification about QuickBooks features. I'll be around to help you. I hope you're having a great day. Take care!
