Adding a receipt
New receipts can be added as attachments from different sources:
The user goes to the Expense page form the Home page. On the Expense page the receipts are displayed by default. The user clicks New receipt. A receipt can be photographed or an already saved image can be taken from the device memory or camera roll. The photo or selected receipt image can be turned around. Expense data is optional information. It can be added to the receipt image and saved for later use.
The user must click Save to save the information on the page. A message will alert the user about unsaved changes, if any.
A quick option to create a document with the receipt is available in Receipts > View
NOTE: If the credit card provider sends receipt images with the credit card transactions, the user does not have to take photos of the receipts in TEM.
