Business expense management: scanned receipts and settlements

Employees photograph the receipt as they pay. 4expenses reads the supplier, date, amount and VAT, routes the expense report for approval against the budget, and hands accounting a batch that needs no retyping.

  • Receipt photographed, fields read automatically
  • Approval flows with budgets per department
  • Per diem and mileage computed by the rules
  • Approved batch exported straight to accounting

How 4expenses works, in three steps

From the receipt in the employee's hand to the batch the accountant imports — without a single spreadsheet in between.

1

Photograph the receipt

The employee photographs the receipt or invoice in the app as they pay. OCR reads the supplier, date, amount and VAT, and the expense report fills itself in.

2

The report is approved

It routes automatically to the approvers you configured, based on amount and department. The approver sees the supporting document and the remaining budget on the same screen.

3

The batch goes to accounting

Approved expenses export with accounts, VAT by rate, cost centres and the attached documents. The employee gets reimbursed and the advance closes itself.

Everything about company spending, in a single platform

4expenses brings the whole life of an expense into a single dashboard — from the photographed receipt to budget approval and accounting export.

Frequently asked questions about 4expenses

Answers on expense reports, OCR receipt scanning, cash advances, per diem and the accounting export.

Is a photographed fiscal receipt enough as a supporting document?
For small expenses a fiscal receipt can serve as the supporting document when it carries the required elements and travels with the expense report. To deduct VAT you need an invoice issued to the company. In 4expenses you configure, per category, whether a receipt suffices or an invoice is mandatory — and a report cannot be submitted without the required document.
Do I still have to keep the paper receipt?
Yes. Archiving financial-accounting documents remains the company's obligation, and thermal receipts fade. Keep the original per your archiving policy and use the image in 4expenses as the working document and as evidence of what the receipt said on the day it was captured.
How is per diem calculated and when does it become taxable?
The allowance is tax-free within the ceilings set by the Romanian Fiscal Code — referenced to the level set for public institutions and, since 2023, to a monthly cap tied to base salary. 4expenses computes the days, applies the configured ceilings and flags the portion that exceeds them before it reaches payroll.
What happens to a card transaction that never gets a receipt?
It stays in the exception list, attached to the cardholder, who keeps receiving reminders until the document is uploaded. An unjustified payment is not merely an administrative annoyance: without a supporting document it is not a deductible expense and may be treated as a benefit granted to the employee.
Can my accountant import the data without retyping it?
Yes. Each expense category carries an accounting scheme, so the export already contains the accounts, the VAT split by rate, the partner identified by tax ID and the cost-centre allocation — with the supporting documents attached to the matching lines.
Does 4expenses issue corporate cards?
No. It works with the cards you already have from your bank and handles reconciliation, controls and justification. That keeps your banking relationship untouched while closing the gap between the statement and the receipts.
