Why do they want a "picture of the receipt?"

I always sent pictures of my receipt. I thought the blur was about how they received the receipt. The point they were making was scanned receipts sometimes was not as clear and was not readily available as was the report. THe MSC had to wait longer for the scanned receipt to reach the cyber threshold. What was obvious to us was not so obvious to them. That's my take on it
Same with Market Force. It's annoying when photos have to be under 1MB to be uploaded. It's much easier to upload the photos of exteriors and receipts from my phone without having to tweak them.
Some MSCs prefer PDFs and/or accept both PDF and jpg photos.
I have mostly been taking photos with my cell phone, emailing them to myself at a smaller size, then saving them on the computer before uploading. I just started scanning receipts as jpg files because it's only one step, as the photos are always under 1MB! Nobody's complained yet.

I was thinking Maritz as well--photos only, one on the report, copy on the invoice. I much prefer being able to do a .pdf because the app I use for that is simple to resize if needed 
. It also is much easier to read and you can zoom in on any part of the receipt. If I have to use an actual photo, my cell phone has a crop feature that works in a similar manner but it's a bit more touchy.
nycrocks--not sure what kind of computer you have but I use Microsoft Picture Manager and I can select all of the photos I want resized and do them all at once. For the gas station audits I do, it's usually 15-20 photos and takes about 7 seconds to resize all of them. I know what setting works so I just select that one. It's part of the Office software if you have that.

I've done thousands of receipt scans and never had a rejected one.....But okay, it was A&F (Abercrombie and Fitch) that wanted a "picture" of the receipt, plus the receipt at the end, where they ask for your receipt.
I think 99% of the MSC's are good with your scanned receipt. A very few times, I have seen on the report that they want the picture of the receipt and the scanned portion in the report...strange indeed

I do have MS Office, and I have used the software you're talking about before for personal photos. If I ever do shops requiring multiple photos and I'm using a digital camera rather than a cell phone, this is a good tip to keep in mind. Thanks!
