Xero Accounting app - Bill receipt analysis
I normally add a copy(email download or photo) of any bill when loading it to Xero. It is easy to do with emailed bills but lets say a coffee bill, can take a lot of time. (Taking a photo, email it, download it and add it)
It would have been nice taking a photo of the bill through the Xero app to load it as a bill, from your phone.
If a owner operator buy something it would make it easier just going into the app, go into bills, take photo and load it there and then... done. (I am sure it should be possible that it could take all relevant information automatically from the bill into Xero, only leaving an "Approve" option to finalize the loading of the bill or "Save" as draft, if changes needs to be done and you want to do it later. (nothing to file, nothing to remember to do at a later stage)
This seams to be such a logic solution that I am sure there is software already available that I am just not aware of, but then again this will be at extra charges.... :-)

you can save a photo direct to Xero bill on an iphone. xero is one of the destination options that appears when you share photo

Thanks for your reply!
It was specifically for clients that are always on the go ie. tradies, hairdressers, labourers, etc. They don't necessarily have time to scan/photograph and email a receipt through to Xero for us to then approve & match the bill.
Does HubDoc allow for the photo just to be uploaded into bill section same as emailing?

Take a photo of a receipt in the Xero app and upload directly to draft bills. Xero automatically prefills readable data.
