When to use this scenario

Use this for expense archives, reimbursement intake, bookkeeping preparation, or any process where receipt images need searchable, correctable structure.

What you provide

  • One receipt image per row.
  • A file name or other primary identifier.
  • Optional business fields such as owner, project, cost center, or reimbursement status.

What Kition produces

  • Vendor name and street address.
  • A category such as Food, Fuel, Software, Travel, Office supplies, or Healthcare.
  • Structured JSON containing dates, currency, subtotal, tax, total, payment method, and line items when visible.
  • Plain OCR text preserving receipt line order.

How the workflow runs

  1. Create a row and attach the receipt image.

  2. Vision extraction fields automatically read vendor and address while classification assigns a category.

  3. A structured extraction field builds machine-readable JSON and a second field preserves the full plain-text transcription.

  4. Filter, correct, export, or ask the Agent to summarize the resulting records.

What to review

  • Compare totals, currency, tax, and line items against the original image.
  • Correct low-quality or ambiguous text before downstream accounting use.
  • Check that the assigned category and vendor capitalization match your reporting rules.

Ways to adapt it

01

Add reimbursement status, employee, project, tax treatment, and cost-center fields.

02

Flag high-value or duplicate receipts with a workflow.

03

Export approved rows to CSV/JSON or hand them to another bookkeeping process.
