Employees send receipts via WhatsApp, how do I channel that?

WhatsApp is not an archive or processing system. The fix is a mail-to-package address or expense app, plus a hard agreement that WhatsApp does not count as submitted.

Try this first

  1. 1Enable the inbound email address on your bookkeeping package (Yuki, Moneybird, Exact, e-Boekhouden all have this) and share it with the team.
  2. 2Or choose an expense app with scan (Klippa, Yokoy, Concur) so the employee submits a photo with metadata directly.
  3. 3Communicate firmly that WhatsApp is no longer a valid channel, a receipt that lives only there does not get reimbursed.
  4. 4During transition a shared mailbox can serve, someone routes WhatsApp photos there, then phase it out.
  5. 5Plan a short 15-minute instruction per team, otherwise it slides back to WhatsApp after four weeks.
