What is included
- a Google Sheets-compatible workbook
- a receipt field dictionary
- fictional sample records
- views and formulas for missing fields and duplicates
- a reviewer checklist and exception log
The files use fictional examples so you can inspect formulas, fields and expected results without exposing customer or financial data.
How to use the pack
- Upload the workbook to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets.
- Replace the fictional reviewer names with your own owners.
- Keep the sample rows while you test missing receipt numbers, duplicates and unclear tax.
- Link each row to the source receipt and resolve exceptions with a person.
- Copy the clean workbook before adding live receipt data.
Worked example
A receipt has a supplier, date and total but no receipt number. The row remains visible with the number blank and an exception owner. The tracker never fabricates a number or decides the tax treatment.
The useful evidence is the comparison between expected and actual behavior. Record corrections and rerun the same case after a change so the team can see whether the fix worked.
What to verify before launch
- The source file remains available beside any extracted or summarized values.
- Missing information stays missing until a person supplies or confirms it.
- Duplicate and retry rules prevent a second destination record.
- A named person owns exceptions and approval decisions.
- Failed runs remain visible and can be replayed safely.
- Access, retention and deletion rules match your organization’s requirements.
Limits
This workbook organizes records; it does not provide bookkeeping or tax advice, extract fields from images, submit an expense claim or post to accounting software. Confirm retention and access rules with your finance team.
