Understanding Receipt Details

When you click on a receipt in your list, you'll see everything Apocha knows about that transaction. This page explains what each section shows and how to make the most of the details view.

Overview

The receipt details page is divided into several sections, each providing different insights about your transaction.

The Header Section

At the top, you'll find the essential information:

FieldDescription
Store NameThe merchant or transaction partner
AmountTotal transaction amount
DateWhen the purchase happened
AccountWhich account was used
TypeExpense, Income, or Transfer

Status Indicators

Receipts have different states:

  • NEW - Recently imported, may need review
  • VERIFIED - You've confirmed everything is correct

A badge shows the current status. You can change this in edit mode.

Line Items Section

This is where Apocha shines. Instead of just showing "Supermarket - €67.43", you see every item:

ColumnWhat It Shows
Item NameProduct description
QuantityHow many you bought
Unit PricePrice per item
TotalQuantity x Unit Price
CategoryAssigned spending category

Expanding Item Details

Click on any line item to see additional information (when available):

  • GTIN/Barcode: Product identifier
  • Description: Additional product details
  • VAT Category: Tax rate applied

Store Information

When Apocha recognizes a store, you'll see its details:

  • Store Name: Official merchant name
  • Address: Full street address
  • City & Postal Code: Location details
  • Store Type: Category like Supermarket, Restaurant, Gas Station

Location Map

If location data is available, an interactive map shows where the purchase was made. This helps when:

  • You're tracking vacation spending by location
  • You want to remember which branch you visited
  • You're verifying the receipt is legitimate

Category Breakdown

For receipts with multiple items, the category breakdown shows where your money went:

This hierarchical view helps you understand:

  • How much went to each spending category
  • The percentage breakdown of your purchase
  • Which subcategories contributed most
Drill Down

Click on any category to see its subcategories. This mirrors how categories work throughout Apocha.

Viewing Receipt Images

If you uploaded or scanned a receipt, the image appears in a dedicated section:

  • Click to enlarge
  • Zoom in on details
  • Multiple pages supported (for long receipts)
  • PDF receipts render as images

Tags

Tags you've assigned appear as colored badges:

Tags are useful for:

  • Marking business expenses
  • Flagging tax-relevant purchases
  • Creating custom groupings

Actions Menu

The action menu (three dots or gear icon) gives you quick access to:

ActionWhat It Does
EditOpen the receipt editor
CopyCreate a duplicate receipt
DeleteRemove the receipt
Create RecurringSet up a recurring transaction based on this receipt

Understanding Transfer Receipts

Transfer receipts look slightly different because they involve two accounts:

FieldDescription
Source AccountWhere money came from
Target AccountWhere money went to
AmountHow much was transferred

Transfers don't have categories since they're moving money, not spending it.

Multi-Currency Receipts

When a receipt currency differs from your account currency, additional fields appear:

FieldDescription
Receipt CurrencyOriginal transaction currency (e.g., USD)
Receipt AmountAmount in original currency
Debit CurrencyYour account's currency (e.g., EUR)
Debit AmountActual amount debited
Exchange RateCalculated from the two amounts
Exchange Rates

Apocha doesn't store exchange rates directly. Instead, it calculates the effective rate from the original and debit amounts. This matches how your bank processes the transaction.

Tips for Using Receipt Details

  1. Verify after import: Check that line items and categories are correct
  2. Use the map: Great for remembering where you shopped during trips
  3. Check the breakdown: Category totals help catch miscategorized items
  4. Review multi-currency: Ensure exchange rates look reasonable
