Xero Expenses: Automatic receipt scan in web app

Add the ability to extract data from scanned receipts in the Xero Expense web app.

At the moment, both the mobile app and HubDoc can automatically scan receipts and extract data (date, amount, payee, etc). This doesn't work in the web app and Hubdoc cannot send documents to the Expense app.

We use a document scanner to scan multiple reciepts at a time and then batch upload to our expense keeping app (Zoho Expense). Drag and drop multiple receipts into Zoho Expense and the software will automatically extract the data from multiple reciepts at a time. This is more user friendly and faster than taking photos one at a time on a mobile app, or uploading them on the Xero Expense web app where we have to manually extract the data.

    In the mobile App you can add a receipt using the Plus Button. When you go to do the same in the Web app there is not Add Receipt.

    Come of Xero, its the small things that will really help an organisation like this.

    Xero should be a platform for professionals. Having everything on phone apps for one-at-a-time handling of receipts makes it feel more like a platform for hobby businesses.

    I definitely agree with Mark. This function and being able to email receipts in to be analyzed (as we can do with bills in Xero web) are key functions that competitor products have.

    In the app I cant edit an entry after I have recorded it. I can add a file. but cant adjust the account ot description etc.

    I would like to have expenses automatically itemise the receipts I expense, even if incorrect it would save so much time per receipt, if the system could read the receipt and automatically write everything into the itemisation lines also base its guessed off previous inputs and receipts.
    Or to be able to save the names of specific things that go into the accounts categories.
