EXPENSE RECORDS · Workflow idea
For a team or individual with an authorized purpose, extract apparent merchant, date, tax, and amount details from a receipt image and prepare a structured expense entry. Receipt images reveal purchase and location details, and OCR may misread totals or currencies. Obtain permission, limit image retention, compare each field with the original, and have the account owner approve any stored expense or reimbursement record. Use only information the requester may access, explain personal-data use and retention, verify source details and rights, and keep external or consequential actions under human approval.
01 / The starting point
A defined purpose, authorized source material, and an accountable reviewer
“Prepare receipt and expense details from permitted information for a person to review before any external or consequential action.”

Do not create, submit, pay, delete, or change a live record without human approval.
