Reviewing assisted receipt extraction

Where extraction is configured, capture a readable receipt and verify every proposed field before saving.

How receipt scanning works

When assisted extraction is configured, you can attach a receipt photo and Tendmere proposes fields such as date, amount and vendor. Review and edit every proposed value before saving; otherwise use manual entry.

Tips for better results

  • Good lighting — Photograph the receipt in natural light or under a bright lamp. Avoid shadows across the text.
  • Flat surface — Lay the receipt flat. Creased or curled paper is harder to read.
  • Full receipt — Make sure the total amount and date are both visible in the photo.
  • One receipt per photo — The AI works best when there's a single receipt in the image.
  • Readable text — Faded thermal receipts are the most common issue. If the text is barely visible, consider a digital receipt instead.

What gets extracted?

Where configured, the provider can propose a date, total amount, vendor/supplier name, and visible description. Treat every value as unverified until you review it; manual entry is always available.

Supported formats

Use the file types and size limits shown by the upload control. Availability can vary by workspace and provider configuration; a file upload is not evidence that extraction succeeded.
