When to use this workflow
Use this workflow when your company expense portal caps attachments at 5โ10 MB, when you photographed receipts on a phone without a scanner, or when IT blocks desktop PDF software on your laptop.
Tips for best results
Photograph receipts immediately โ thermal paper fades within days.
Name files with numeric prefixes (01-hotel, 02-taxi) before selecting so page order is correct even without drag reorder.
Keep originals until finance approves reimbursement.
Before you submit
- Each receipt legible at 100% zoom after compress
- PDF total size under portal limit
- Dates and amounts match your expense report form
- Original photos kept until approval
