How to take receipt photos you can actually find and use later
A receipt photo is useful when the important details survive the capture and the image has enough context to make sense later.
Keep the whole receipt visible, use even light, and add a short note about the trip, project, or purpose while you still remember it.
Treat extraction as a draft, not a verdict
Compare merchant, date, total, and currency with the original image before using them for reimbursement, bookkeeping, an invoice, or a return.
Use a name you will search for
Searchable words such as a shop, place, project, or purpose are more useful than an anonymous camera filename.
