Account directly in the Expense app
With Account directly, you register and account for a company card purchase right when you photograph the receipt, without waiting for the card transaction to arrive.
⚡ How it works
You photograph the receipt and account for the purchase directly in the app. The purchase goes into the Pre-booked accountings expense report. When the card transaction arrives from the bank, you get a suggested match with your purchase.
👉 Applies to: company card purchases, when your administrator has activated Account directly.
⚠️ If the card transaction is already in Expense, you handle the purchase as usual.
⚠️ If Expense Co-Pilot is activated, it can interfere with Account directly.
📷 Step 1 – Register the receipt
- Open the Expense app and tap the plus sign (+).
- Take a photo of the receipt.
- Check the details the app has read and write a comment.
- Tap Account directly.
📊 Step 2 – Account for the purchase
When you have tapped Account directly, you come to the accounting.
- Choose Purchase or Representation.
- Enter the accounting. For representation, you choose a template and fill in the number of participants and any tip.
