Capture problems

A scan that fails, gets rejected before upload, or looks wrong once it lands.

The app keeps asking me to retake the photo

The on-device quality check rejects a blurry shot or one that doesn’t look like a document before it ever uploads. Lay the receipt flat, avoid glare across the total, and get the whole receipt in frame.

I photographed the same receipt twice by accident

An exact re-upload of the same image is recognised immediately and treated as one capture, not two — you’ll be pointed at the existing record rather than getting an error.

Two of my receipts look like duplicates but aren’t

A same-supplier, same-amount, same-day match is only ever soft-flagged for you to check — it is never merged automatically, because two identical purchases on one day can both be real.

A multi-page invoice split into separate documents

Capture a multi-page tax invoice as one multi-page document rather than one photo per page, so the line items reconcile against a single total.

Extraction accuracy and corrections

A field the model got wrong, or understanding why something was flagged.

A field is blank instead of filled in

The model is instructed to leave a field blank rather than guess when it isn’t confident — a wrong figure is worse than a missing one. Fill it in on the review screen.

I fixed a field and a later re-scan changed it back

This shouldn’t happen — once you correct or confirm a field it is locked against being overwritten by a machine re-run. If you’ve seen this, contact support with the document so it can be investigated.

Why did this receipt need review instead of auto-accepting?

The review screen shows the specific check that failed — an ABN that didn’t validate, a total that didn’t reconcile with the line items, or similar — rather than a generic low-confidence notice.

The supplier’s ABN shows as invalid but I know it’s right

Check for a transposed digit from the photo first — the checksum is exact. If the ABN is correct and still fails, it may have been re-typed incorrectly during capture; correct it on the review screen.

BAS and GST questions

Understanding a BAS figure, or why some GST shows as unclaimable.

Why can’t I claim the GST on this receipt?

You need a valid tax invoice to claim a GST credit once a purchase reaches $82.50 including GST. A receipt missing required details — often the supplier’s ABN — shows up in the unclaimable-GST report instead of label 1B.

My BAS labels look different to what my bookkeeper expects

Check whether your workspace is set to Simpler BAS (G1, 1A, 1B only) or the full seven-label method — this is a per-workspace setting.

The BAS report flagged its own numbers

The report checks 1A against roughly a tenth of G1 and 1B against roughly a tenth of reportable purchases before showing you anything — a flag here means the period is worth a closer look before lodging.

Xero connection

Connecting, syncing, or disconnecting Xero.

A posted transaction hasn’t appeared in Xero yet

Xero limits how many requests can be made per minute per organisation, so pushes go through a queue. A large batch can take a short while to fully land — it hasn’t failed, it’s queued.

How do I disconnect Xero?

Disconnect from your workspace’s connection settings. This revokes the stored access token immediately; it doesn’t remove anything already pushed to Xero.

Do drafts sync to Xero?

No — only confirmed, posted transactions sync, so Xero always shows what your books show.

Billing and quota

Plans, scan limits, and what happens when you reach them.

I’ve hit my monthly scan quota

Nothing is ever dropped — the image is still stored and you’ll be offered a top-up. Extraction resumes as soon as quota is available again.

Can I change plans mid-cycle?

Yes — talk to Support or, on a Practice plan, your firm’s administrator.

I’m on a Practice plan — who do I contact about billing?

Practice billing is managed by your firm, at the firm level, not per client — contact your firm’s administrator first.

Data export and retention

Getting your data out, and how long it’s kept.

How do I get everything for my accountant?

Export a tax pack — a CSV of transactions, a PDF BAS summary, and every original receipt image, foldered by quarter and category.

How long is my data kept?

Five years from when a record was prepared or its transaction completed, matching ATO requirements, then it’s removed by an automated purge.

Can I delete my account?

Yes, through Support. Records still inside their mandatory five-year window are closed out of active use but can’t be deleted until that window passes.
