In the case where you're spending at a non-RIPA-integrated merchant, RIPA Expenses still makes it easy to capture & record your expenses.
You will need to pay for your expense first, then request a paper receipt.
To record your expense, follow these steps:
1. Open your RIPA Expenses Mobile App
2. Select your Expense Code, either by tapping a favourite code, or tapping on Search Codes to search the complete list of expense codes available
3. Start typing to enter your comment to justify why you are incurring the expense.
Z4. Tap Add Receipt. You can choose to take new photo of the receipt right then, or if you already have it stored on your phone's camera roll, you can access the photo from there. Make sure your photo is clear, and the key details of purchase are visible.
KEY DETAILS INCLUDE: DATE, MERCHANT, AMOUNT PAID
NOTE: Only one expense to be created per transaction
5. If you are happy with the image that you have taken, Tap on the check sign to submit your expense.
The process is all done - however we recommend you don't throw the paper receipt out until it has been "Approved".
