Reviewing assisted receipt extraction

How receipt scanning works

Receipt extraction normally comes with paid plans. Every plan is free right now with every feature included, so you can use it where extraction is switched on. You can always attach a receipt photo to an expense and type in the details.

Where extraction is switched on, you attach a receipt photo and Tendmere proposes fields such as date, amount and vendor. Review and edit every proposed value before saving.

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.
