You take the photo, the receipt does the rest
Supplier, date, total, VAT read by themselves. The receipt joins its bank line, ready for the accountant. Today's receipt here, the ten years in Keeping your invoices for ten years.
Suggested category
Bank reconciliation, October
Two seconds at the counter,
the rest follows by itself.
You recognise these lines
You have receipts in the glove box, and others in a pocket
You find one three months later, faded and illegible
You sort through the pile the day before sending it to the accountant
You see a payment on the statement without knowing what it's for
You couldn't say how much VAT you reclaimed this quarter
You decide, step by step, what you hand over
Here's what becomes of the 84.60-euro receipt taken at the counter. At each step, say whether you keep doing it or Atlas® takes it on: the counters recalculate before your eyes. The photo remains your only action: two seconds.
The receipt comes in on the day of purchase
A photo at the counter: it's straightened, cropped, shadow removed. Ten receipts in a row if needed, and an invoice received by email comes in without a photo.
Supplier, date, total, VAT: read word for word
The image is read character by character: supplier, date, total, each VAT rate and its amount, document number. Values recorded, not guesses.
The category is suggested, you confirm it
Category and expense account suggested based on the supplier and your previous choices, in colour on the record. You correct it once, it never gets it wrong again, and what's deductible stays your accountant's business.
Total verified, receipt matched to the bank
Total recalculated from the lines, VAT checked, receipt matched to your bank lines, to the penny and within three days. Blurry photo: off to To check, with fields highlighted.
The file goes to the accountant
In the format they ask for, each receipt named and matched, and the module requests the missing ones, with the amount and the date.
