Receipt reading

Your invoicing software should read the receipt

Most tools still make you retype every line. Drop a photo or PDF. Branch reads the fields, suggests values, and nothing saves until you confirm.

  • Expense receipts

    Attach a receipt and Branch fills merchant, date, and total. Review the suggestions, pick an alternative when the scan is unsure, and keep the image with the expense.

  • Purchase orders

    Upload a PO and Branch pulls the number, amount, dates, and client. Confirm the reading, then attach the order to invoices and retainers.

  • You stay in control

    Nothing saves until you accept the suggestions. Alternate readings are there when a line is ambiguous.

  • Ready for the invoice

    Billable expenses land on the same review as tracked time. Purchase orders cap what you can invoice so remaining value stays visible.

FAQ

What does Branch read on a receipt?
Merchant, date, total, and related fields from a photo or PDF. You review the suggestions and keep the image with the expense.
What about purchase orders?
Upload a PO and Branch pulls the number, amount, dates, and client when they are on the document. Confirm, then attach the order to invoices and retainers.
Does anything save automatically?
No. Suggestions appear first. Nothing is stored as the expense or purchase order until you accept or edit the reading.
Is receipt reading extra?
No. Receipt and purchase-order reading is included with every seat — the same flat rate as time tracking and invoicing.
What files can I drop?
Photos, scans, and PDFs of receipts and purchase orders. Clear, well-lit images read more reliably; you can always type a field yourself.
