Hello Hector, I learned a lot from your presentation. I just purchased RR600W scanner. Can I scan my receipts, export to an excel spread sheet and have it total my expenses?

Hector - Do you know id the Epson RR-600W can upload to QuickBooks DeskTop Pro 2020?

[@PatrickFisher1]

Which do you think is more efficient for scanning receipts to QBO, this scanner or the Raven Pro?

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

Epson is better for QB related scanning Raven better for everything else

[@PatrickFisher1]

@@HectorGarciaCPA Thanks!

[@Matt-sj6ov]

@@HectorGarciaCPA Seems like I can add only one receipt at a time to QBO. Is that true? I was hoping to add a months worth of receipts to the receipt screen in QBO then match them to my expenses. Instead of use the phone app.

[@vincewoodall2820]

Hi Hector, As usual great presentation. I went out and got one, it works great.... until, okay I have a question. I notice that I can scan receipts and they go into the QBO without a problem Then the check or debit transaction clears my bank and only the ADD option on review of the bank transaction is available. If I open the to the more detailed review screen (in QB) and choose the FIND MATCH, it doesn't find my scanned receipt/expense. If I accept the the transaction and categorize same as I did when I scanned the receipt (an expense ) I will end up with a duplicate expense for the same item (seems logical since I didn't MATCH it to the previously scanned receipt AND quickbooks didn't find a match for me.) So... I can delete the scanned receipt expense to eliminate the duplicate... but haha what's the point? How can I force / choose a match of the bank transaction review to match up with my RR-600w receipt/expense? I don't see any option except the FIND MATCH radio button, and when it doesn't present the match I want there doesn't seem to be a way to manually search and select the correct match. Thanks Vince

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

There should be a workflow to match, but you have to start with the scanned image

Hello. HOW TO PUT MULTIPLE DOCUMENTS ON THE SCANNER AND LET IT SCAN EACH IN A DIFFERENT PDF?

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

I dont know, but there must be a setting somewhere

[@lifeaccordingtomilo6531]

I'm having trouble when exporting to quickbooks online and was wondering if you have any ideas? I add the receipt to the manager, review all information and make sure that the total and taxes are entered then export the expense. when it shows up in qbo, everything is right except it shows as "out of scope" for tax code and I have to manually set it for each expense. My defaults are all set to "inclusive of tax" and the local tax amount. HELP! it's such a pain and it would be perfect otherwise

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

That is a concept for international versions of QB which I do not use, sorry. I only work with US which does use VAT

[@John-rk7lh]

Thank you!!! this was very helpful. I'm running QB Desktop 2023. The Epson did just as you stated: Found the vendor, entered the information almost properly - but one thing that it did not do, is "attach" the receipt to the transaction. You referred to "clicking on Image" and I do not have "Image" anywhere, simply "Attach File". I wonder what I am doing wrong?

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

It wont attach to QB Desktop, only to Online

[@John-rk7lh]

@@HectorGarciaCPA thank you for your response. After the information is exported to QB desktop, what directory could I find the scans? I looked in the Epson folder, but nothing there. Hmmm. I tried dragging the file into the Attach File Screen, and nothing.

Have you ever tried scanning to a team drive (shared drive)?

[@kenrosa9253]

Does this scanner allow you to create a list for tax purposes, ie: business expense, business postage , 1099 and drag and drop your receipt scans into that file as well as automatically add all of your receipts amounts for the tax man. I have a very outdated NEAT scanner that allows you to create your own files and drag your receipts to what ever category you have made. This type of feature is very convenient but I am unable to find another scanner that does this. BTW, all of my tax info. is only on my computer only.

[@rpepp42]

Can I use it with my iPad Pro tablet, no computer?

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

[@PastorIhaza]

Fantastic Video.... 09:38 Receipts.... Exactly what I needed to know, before purchasing this Equipment. The multiple scan and OCR with added software will be nice, too. Thanks for a great instructional video.🥇

[@ParisSavannahIsom]

Is there any way to do a continuous scan with this scanner? I have approximately 700 pages that I need as one pdf, but I am not seeing how to do a continuous scan.

[@kimestill5872]

Hi! Great video. Does the Epson Smart software code/categorize multiple receipts in one scan as separate? Specifically, the last thing you did in this video was scan several receipts in one action. I know you can't upload those as one pdf into quickbooks and have those as separate transactions, however does the Epson Smart software recognize them as separate receipts and code them separately so you can import them into quickbooks? Hope that makes sense :)

[@jonmason4127]

If you scan to a cloud destination, does it have to go through software on the computer? I'm looking for something to send to our clients where they can just power it up, connect it to wifi, and start scanning. I don't want them to have to jump through a bunch of hoops. The Raven scanner was ideal for this, but they're going out of business 12/31, and I need an alternative.

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

No. I can be stand alone

[@toshibavoodoo]

Love my epson!! But mine is 3 years old and might be time to upgrade. Hard to upgrade when current unit works perfectly.

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

Wait until it gives in, LOL those Epsons last a while

[@zang9147]

You can use a rubber roller rejuvenator on the rollers as well. I spend about 15 minutes applying it once a year and have been able to keep a Fujitsu scanner and entry-level printers going for 7 years with low/no misfeeds. Don't spray it on. Spray into a cup, then apply with a foam swab.

[@frankcln]

I sent my old (at least 10 years old) Epson scanner for repair. I was told it was unrepairable. The rollers had melted which I already knew. I bought this new model and installed it yesterday. It is so much better than the original. The install process was so fast and easy. Scanning is rapid! A joy to use.

[@JRR39]

When scanning papers or receipts. Is it best to keep what you want to be together, to scan them together? Then save that group as one. Ie you scanned taxes, those are good to keep together in one document. What I’m wondering is how well does it organize all my papers?

[@HectorGarciaCPA]

I don’t use it the same way :)

Stumped the tech for a bit too. Its a software issue he said. The fix is that you have to set the program default to run as administrator. Then it worked like a charm.

Hi Hector: I love the video and the way you explain on how to use the Epson RR-600W. I would appreciate if you would take time to post a video how to scan using the Epson RR-600w onto a computer where the initial scan goes into a hard drive storage choice.

When scanning directly to QBO the scanner (software) does not recognize sub-categories. Ex. Category 5010-cost of sales works great, Sub-category 5010-20 Resi Parts just doesn't work.

Hi Hector, Trying use this with Quicken and have found the following. If anyone knows how to streamline this please advise. 1.) I tried to scan directly into quicken using the "Add from scanner" option. It is quite slow and scans in as a jpg file which is much larger than a PDF. Is there a way to make it scan as PDF? If you are scanning a multi-page document it scans each page as a separate jpg file. Again a multi-page PDF is much smaller. 2.) So I decided the "Add from scanner" option is not going to work, at least for multi-page pdf. I though I would try and scan as searchable PDF directly to a folder on my computer w/o having to interact with the scanner software but have not found a way to do this either. I was hoping to get to paperless but currently it is way too time consuming. Anyone have any luck using this with Quicken?
