How to Scan Receipts with Your Smartphone and Capture Them in DPO

With the DPO App, you can easily scan and upload receipts using your smartphone. This guide walks you through the process step by step.

Step 1: Open the DPO App

1. Open the DPO App on your smartphone.
2. Tap the plus icon (+) in the bottom-right corner.
3. Select “Upload Receipts”.

Step 2: Scan or Upload Receipts

You have two options for adding your receipts:

• Use Camera: Scan your receipts directly using your smartphone's camera.
• Upload Document: Select an existing receipt saved on your smartphone.

If you are using the camera:

1. Hold your camera steady over the receipt.
2. Wait a moment until the receipt is automatically scanned.
3. Continue scanning additional receipts if needed.

4. Once you have scanned all your receipts, tap the checkmark (✓) in the top-right corner.

Step 3: Merge and Upload Receipts

If you have scanned multiple pages that belong to the same receipt, you can combine them into a single document using “Upload as One Receipt”.

1. Review your scanned receipts.
2. Optional: Select “Upload as One Receipt” to combine multiple pages into a single receipt.

3. To upload receipts individually, tap “Upload Receipts”

Wait until the “Please Wait” message disappears and “Receipt uploaded successfully” is displayed.

Done! Your receipts have been successfully uploaded to DPO.

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.

2. Review the captured information, such as date, description, and amount.
3. Add any missing information if necessary.
4. Save your changes.

Repeat these steps for all uploaded receipts.

Step 6: Submit Your Expense Settlement

Once all receipts have been captured and reviewed, you can submit your expense settlement for approval.

1. Go to Create Topsheet.
2. Select the saved receipts you want to include.
3. Click “Create Topsheet” to generate the PDF and submit it for approval.
