Attach Receipts From Push Notifications

If your organization has a corporate credit card feed that supports real-time alerts, you can attach receipts to credit card transactions by tapping push notifications on your mobile device.

Enable Real-Time Notifications in Emburse Enterprise

First, set up real-time notifications for your corporate credit card transactions. See Enable Real-Time Notifications in Emburse Enterprise.

Enable Push Notifications on Your Device

When you install the Emburse Enterprise mobile app, the app prompts you to enable push notifications. If you previously declined permission, enable push notifications manually on your device.

  • Android: Navigate to Settings > Notifications > App Notifications.
  • iOS: Navigate to Settings > Notifications.

Attach a Receipt from a Push Notification

What Happens When You Attach a Receipt

When you make a purchase using a supported corporate card, the transaction displays in the Action Needed section of your wallet, regardless of which filter is selected at the top.

When you attach a receipt:

  • The receipt is associated with the transaction.
  • The transaction moves to the Pending section of your wallet.
  • The transaction remains in Pending until the card issuer settles the charge.

Transactions remain in the Action Needed section for up to three days or until a receipt is attached. During the final 24 hours before expiration, the transaction displays a warning message.

If a receipt is not attached before the transaction expires, the transaction and receipt must later be matched manually or automatically. See Merge Receipt and Credit Card Transactions for complete details.

Submission and Settlement

After the card issuer settles the charge:

  • The transaction and its corresponding receipt can be associated automatically or merged manually. See Merge Receipt and Credit Card Transactions for complete details.
  • The transaction moves to the list of transactions grouped by date at the bottom of the wallet’s Credit Card tab.
  • You can open the settled transaction and submit it in an expense report.
Authorization amounts may differ from the final settled amount for such expenses as hotel stays or fuel purchases.
