Reviewing scanned receipt information

After a scan, MileLedger pre-fills the Merchant and Amount fields from OCR. You should always review these before saving to ensure accuracy.

Steps

1
Check the Merchant field
Verify that the merchant name matches the business printed on the receipt. OCR may read a brand abbreviation, a store number, or a legal entity name instead of the familiar trading name.
2
Check the Amount field
Compare the pre-filled amount to the total on your physical receipt. OCR sometimes reads a subtotal, tax line, or card-authorisation amount instead of the true total paid.
3
Zoom into the attachment
Tap the receipt thumbnail in the Attachments section to open a full-screen view. Zoom in to cross-reference any figures that look unexpected.
4
Review other fields
Confirm the category, date, business/personal categorization, and any breakdown fields (tax, tip, etc.) that you intend to complete manually.
5
Proceed to save
Once all values are correct, tap Save.

MileLedger's OCR is a convenience tool — it reduces data entry but does not guarantee accuracy. You are responsible for verifying all extracted data before saving.
Relying on unreviewed OCR data for tax or reimbursement records may lead to inaccurate filings. Always compare against the original receipt.
