Attach Receipts to Oracle TransactionTransaction preparers and verifiers can navigate to the eReceipts application from the Resources section of the Expense Requests or the PCard system home page. Preparers and verifiers are most likely to utilize the Desktop view of eReceipts when processing expense reports or verifying PCard transactions.

Common eReceipt Issues and Resolutions:
- Accessing eReceipts with the Stanford Mobile app: 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 (version 10.6.6 or higher). See Stanford Mobile for download information.
- Taking pictures with an Android phone within the eReceipts app: Some Android users may not be able to take a picture of a receipt from within the eReceipts mobile app. The eReceipts team is currently investigating this issue.
- The workaround for this is to take the picture using your camera function and then choose the file within the eReceipts app.
- Under "Pending Me" page, the Edit eReceipt page has a different set of expense types available than the initial Add Receipt page. The eReceipts team is currently investigating this issue.
- The correct set of expense types is a shorter list on the Add Receipt (upload) page in eReceipts and should be the expense type used. Please choose an expense type that is on that list when making edits in the Edit eReceipt page.
- Accessing eReceipts Application: If a traveler does not have access to the Expense Request System in Oracle, they can edit and assign receipts via the online mobile application. If the preparer does not want to access the eReceipt mobile application using their phone, they can use the eReceipt application found on the Expense Request System page to organize receipts, add more comments and reassign.
FYI: eReceipts and Upload a file may both be used for attaching to an Expense Request transaction or a PCard transaction.
