Only with reimbursement: if your company reimburses expenses through Expensly, the screen "Rückvergütung Zahlungsangaben" (Reimbursement payment details) appears once. Enter your IBAN and address and tap "Speichern" (Save). Without these details no reimbursement can be triggered.

Only if this message appears: "Zahlungsdetails aktualisieren" (Update payment details) means the organisation's trial or subscription has expired. The organisation lead must add payment details on web.expensly.ch.

Under "Ausgabe erfassen" (Record expense) tap the matching expense type.

In the "Beleg erfassen" (Capture receipt) dialog choose "Dokument scannen" (scan with the camera), "Aus Dateien wählen" (choose from files, PDF or image) or "Aus Galerie wählen" (choose from the photo gallery).

Place the receipt on a contrasting surface. The scanner detects it automatically (blue frame) and captures it, otherwise tap the shutter button.

The captured page appears bottom left. Multi-page receipts: scan the next pages, they are combined into one PDF. Tap the checkmark top right to finish.

Check or change the expense type (already preselected). If your company uses references, choose one under "Referenz (Kunde, Ort, etc.)".

Enter a description (required, max. 80 characters) and tap "Weiter" (Next). The message "Transaktion wird analysiert" (Transaction is being analysed) appears while the receipt is read.

Check that date, total amount and tax rate were read correctly.

Amount and currency can be adjusted here

Optional, second tax rate: Tap "Steuersatz hinzufügen" (Add tax rate) to add a second tax rate (e.g. hotel with breakfast).

Only with two tax rates: The second tax rate can be adjusted in the dropdown if needed, at most two tax rates per receipt.
