Spend money: Ability to take a photo of receipts and attach to transaction

I'd like the ability to take a photo of receipts and then attach them to the transaction in the banking screen.  This will make it really easy for businesses to keep their records and also will help bookkeepers and accountants when working on their client's file.

 

I've got a few clients who would really benefit from this as they are constantly travelling and loosing the actual receipts.  It will also save the accountants asking for copies of invoices if they are already attached to the transaction.

 

I've recently spoken with a couple of people who raved about this functionality that their online software provider has and it would be great if MYOB's customers could do the same.

    Another request for improvement of Essentials version:

     

    1)  It would be great to be able to attach multiple PDFs to an invoice.  My client wants to capture not only the invoice but any other papers associated with the payment (eg Insurance policy details with seprate letter of offer, plus bank confirmation of payment, etc).

     

    2)  Also why can't we attach a document to a "Spend Money" transaction ?  That would be really handy !!

     

    Thanks.

    I've seen requests for this dating back at least six years, but I can't find any progress on it.  Xero now has it and WaveApps has had it for many years.  When will this happen for MYOB clients?

    I love this idea.

     

    I have a lot of trouble with my client always losing receipts.  If he could quickly use an app to take a photo of all receipts that I can then access through the Live Accounting website that would make my life so much easier.

     

    It's also great for working remotely with clients.  I can cut down on my own travel time.

    A great idea, but I see it being a difficult thing to implement mainly around controlling the file size, and file types, and obvious internet speed and server capacity issues.

    I would like to be able to attach an image file of the work I have produced, to remind the client what they are paying for.

    For me to be trully hassel free in my business, I dont not always have time to scan documents, specially those small nasty petrol receipts which I lose quite regularly.

     

    It your be amazing if you could develp a feature in your onthego app "seeings we are onthego" to pull out your smart phone and take a photo of your receipt which will automatically upload onto your MYOB essentials in tray. 

     

    So the problem with this is that a photo is too large of a file to upload and "lug around".

    So you will have to create a Picture to PDF converter inside the feature of your APP to reduce the size of the file.

     

    Then after that we can maybe discuss the idea of being able to add more than one file to your bill, for when you recieve 1-100 page invoice documents 

     

    This would be an amazing feature if you could incorperate it into your business you would be a true market leader.

     

    Kind Regards,

    Adam Lang
