Add and review an expense
On this page
Adding an expense
Home has two ways to add an expense: take a photo with your camera, or upload an existing photo or PDF. To add several receipts at once, start a new expense and use batch upload.
What happens after you capture
An expense saves to your device immediately, even offline. It then uploads, and Mari Yangu reads the merchant, date, and amount automatically. You can watch it move from uploading, to processing, to ready.
Reviewing and correcting
Open any expense to edit the merchant, date, total, tax, category, or tags. An expense labeled "Needs Review" has a field Mari Yangu was not confident about, confirm or correct it and the label clears.
- 1
Open the expense
Tap it from Home or your expense list.
- 2
Check the details
Merchant, date, and amount are filled in for you.
- 3
Fix anything that is wrong
Every field is editable, including category and tags.
If a scan does not work
An expense labeled "We couldn't scan this receipt" did not read automatically. Use Retry scan to try again, or fill in the merchant, date, and amount yourself. The photo is never lost either way.
