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. 1

    Open the expense

    Tap it from Home or your expense list.

  2. 2

    Check the details

    Merchant, date, and amount are filled in for you.

  3. 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.
