Receipt capture & expense claims
How this is scored
How an expense gets into the system: a mobile app that photographs receipts, text recognition (OCR) that reads amount, date, merchant and VAT, receipts forwarded by email or pulled from suppliers, claims for out-of-pocket spending in any currency, mileage and trip entries, a substitute receipt (Eigenbeleg) when the original is lost, and duplicate detection.
0 — Not an expense capture tool; receipts and claims cannot be recorded in the product.
3 — Receipts uploaded as photos or files and attached to an expense by hand; text recognition, email capture or claims in other currencies are basic or not described.
5 — A mobile app that captures receipts with text recognition reading amount, date and merchant, receipts forwarded by email, expense claims for out-of-pocket spending submitted from the app, and foreign currencies converted.
8 — Extraction of VAT rates and amounts and line items, receipts collected automatically from email inboxes or named suppliers, duplicate and fraud checks on submission, a substitute receipt for lost originals, mileage with route calculation, and replacement scanning (ersetzendes Scannen) stated as GoBD-compliant so paper originals may be discarded.
10 — Capture without employee effort: e-receipts delivered directly by travel and merchant partners, extraction accuracy or review process published, a certified scanning procedure (for example an audit report to IDW PS 880 or a TÜV certificate) named, and every receipt traceable from capture to booking.
The Office Manager
Receipt chasing looks close to solved: photos via the app with automatic reading of vendor, date and total, receipts forwarded by email, and a Receipt Finder that scans Gmail or Outlook and pulls receipts from 50+ merchants and TravelPerk without anyone being asked. Extraction accuracy is published (up to 99%, about one in a hundred documents needing a manual fix) and a GoBD certification to IDW PS 880 is named on the trust page. I found no public information on line-item extraction, a substitute receipt for lost originals, or route calculation for mileage, so it stops just short of the top. 2 9 10 11
