###### Step 4: Capture Your Receipts

Tap **“Capture Receipts”** to continue processing your uploaded receipts.

From here, you can continue either directly in the **DPO App** or in your **web browser**.

**Our recommendation:** Use the **web browser for further processing**, as it provides a clearer overview of your receipts and their associated information.

###### Step 5: Process Receipts in Your Browser

Open DPO in your browser and navigate to the **Expenses Inbox**.

1. Select the uploaded receipt.
