At the moment you can upload 'photos' into the expenses and it completely ignores other file types like PDFs (which a majority of online receipts are processed in). I'm actually really confused why M...
This is a huge oversight. It renders the app effectively useless for capturing expenses in my case. "lots of receipts come through as PDFs", how about "MOST receipts come through as PDFs". 90% of my receipts are in PDF and my guess is this would be the case for a lot of people these days. Even Bunnings receipts (pretty much the only in store purchases I make) are e-receipts that are produced through the Bunnings app on my phone when I'm in store. And this was the primary reason I've been looking for a book keeping app - for expenditure record keeping. As a furniture maker invoicing to my clients is pretty straight forward but my expenditure is far more varied and complicated. I even got semi audited on my outgoings last FY. Do I dump the app or wait and hope the next release happens before the end of 2026 EOFY and let expenses build up un-cataloged until then?
Hi Michael161,
I hear you, you’re absolutely right that most receipts these days land as PDFs, and we know how important that makes this update.
The good news is you won’t be waiting until EOFY. If everything stays on track, PDF uploads will be live before the end of September. That means you’ll be able to start cataloguing those expenses soon and won’t be stuck with a backlog.
Thanks,
Hannah
Hi Hannah,
Thanks for the reply and that's a relief to hear the update will be effective soon.
Cheers

Hey Michael161,
Not a problem at all 🙌 I also missed this in my last reply, but if you have not already, you can actually set up Bunnings supplier invoices to be sent directly into Solo. Super handy for keeping everything in one spot. Here’s the link to get that sorted: Bunnings Supplier Connect setup.🛠️
Thanks,
HannahThanks Hannah, I'll check that out.
