Capture and Assign Receipts Using eReceipts

  • Learn about eReceipts mobile app, process and procedures on Fingate.
  • Download Stanford Mobile from the Apple App Store or on Google Play to access the eReceipts app. For more information, visit the University IT Stanford Mobile webpage. 
    • eReceipts is available as an application within Stanford Mobile. To make eReceipts visible, be sure to update the Stanford Mobile app on your device to the latest version (10.6.6).
  • It is recommended that after purchases are complete or travel has been completed, assign all related receipts for the same transaction to the preparer of the Expense Report (including TCard) or PCard transaction. 
  • As a reminder, this application does not replace paper receipt retention requirements that may be in place for your department. In general, it is recommended keeping hard copy receipts until payment for the expense has been completed.
