  2. Capturing the expense receipts or images from your mobile phone camera.
  3. Emailing the receipt or images to QuickBooks directly.

Just to let you know, that you can use the receipt snap feature available in QuickBooks Online mobile app, which lets you click the pic on the expense receipts, and helps you enter your expenses even when you are travelling.

Step 4. Now for categorizing the receipt, you will see there’s match status reflecting in Action column, which tells us that QuickBooks has recognized a transaction that matches the expense receipt.

Step 5. In that case, you should review the linked record and if you are satisfied that it is correct, you need to click on match to connect the expense receipt with the transaction.

Step 6. If in case, you don’t think that there is a matching transaction against the expense receipt, you can create an entirely new one by going to the Expense menu> Expense tab and then clicking on a ‘New’ transaction and then expense again.
