Is your shoebox overflowing with receipts you’re keeping “just in case”? With MYOB Capture, you can take a quick photo of a receipt and send it to your MYOB In Tray in seconds – helping you keep compliant and organised.
If you have a compatible Android or iOS device, you’re ready to go—just download and install MYOB Capture:
Download from the App Store (iOS)
Download from Google Play (Android)
Once it's installed, here’s how it works:
Take a photo of a receipt.
Crop the photo to remove unwanted areas.
Send the photo to your In Tray!
Your receipt will be sent to your In Tray, ready for you to use in MYOB.
You can also add a note to your captured receipt. You may want to add notes about who captured the receipt, how it was paid or how it should be allocated. Notes will be saved along with the document and will appear in any transactions you use them in, such as a Spend Money transaction or a Bill.
Notes don't appear in the In tray.
Do you have multiple MYOB businesses? No problem—the app lets you switch between files.
Who has access to MYOB Capture? Anyone who has access to your online company file will be able to use MYOB Capture to send receipts to your In Tray. They don’t need any special permissions. See Set up a new user for MYOB Capture below.
To capture and adjust an image
Take a picture of your receipt on the home screen. A purple outline will appear over your image.
Line up the corners of your receipt with the corners of the purple outline – a circle will appear to magnify wherever you place your finger. If you're not happy with the pic, tap Retake to have another go.
Once you've lined everything up, tap Next. A cropped version of the image will appear.
If you'd like to add a note to go along with the image:
Click on Add note ( ).
Type the note text.

The note will be saved with the image and will appear in any transactions you create from it.
If you're happy with the image, tap Send or tap Back to adjust.

Matching receipts to spend money transactions
The matching feature uses the amount and date on your captured receipts and finds any spend money transactions that match. You can review the matches and attach the document if it's correct. This way, you won’t need to link receipts in MYOB back at the office. It’ll all be done for you!
To review matches and attach receipts
If you see a "XYZ matches" message at the top of your MYOB Capture app, it means one of your documents has a spend money transaction that appears to match.
Click on the "XYZ matches" message. You'll see a summary of the spend money transaction at the top and your receipt just below.
If the match is correct and you want to attach the receipt to the transaction, tap Attach.
If the match is incorrect or you don't want to link the receipt, tap Skip.
If there are more matches, the next suggested match will appear.
Any documents you've matched to spend money transactions in MYOB Capture will be automatically reflected in MYOB.
To enable or disable matching
Transaction matching is enabled by default. You can turn it off in the Settings screen of your MYOB Capture app.

Once the receipt is in your In Tray you can:
