Photograph a receipt and Quenta posts it to Xero

  • iPhone
  • Web

Sign in with Xero and connect your company. On iPhone, tap + and photograph the receipt, or import a photo, image file or PDF. On the web, upload the file.

Quenta reads the receipt and posts a bank transaction to Xero with the contact, a reference and the receipt image attached. Anything it isn't sure about goes to Review instead.

Review at the top, in red

  • iPhone
  • Web

Receipts that need you are pinned to the top in red, with the reason in plain words. Everything else is listed newest first. A Submitted receipt opens its transaction in Xero.

Quenta remembers how you code a merchant

  • iPhone
  • Web

The first time Quenta meets a category, it asks which account to use and ranks its suggestions. Tick Remember this choice and the next receipt from that merchant is coded the same way.

How Quenta applies what it has learned

Change a receipt after it's submitted

  • iPhone

Open a Submitted receipt to recode it on the same Xero transaction, move it to another company or bank account, or delete it. If Xero refuses because the period is locked or the transaction is reconciled, Quenta tells you why.

Receipts are saved on your phone first

  • iPhone

A capture is saved on your phone before anything is uploaded. With no connection it shows as Queued offline and uploads when you're back online.
