Take a photo, or pick one from your gallery.
The merchant, total and date are pulled from the receipt, and Nomo suggests a category like Tools and Equipment. You check the details.
Choose how you'll claim it and save. The receipt image stays attached to the expense.
No receipt? Add the expense manually.
