Yes. When a report is pushed to QuickBooks, the original receipt document — PDF invoice, Gmail receipt image, or scanned attachment — is automatically attached to the QBO transaction record. No manual upload in QuickBooks after the fact.
Where the attachment appears:
The attachment shows up directly on the Purchase or Bill record in QBO, the same way it would if you had uploaded it manually via QuickBooks' own "Attach" button. It appears in the Attachments section of the transaction.
Why this matters:
For nonprofits and grant-funded organizations: Grant auditors expect documentation attached to the expense record, not filed in a separate folder and cross-referenced by hand. ExpenseBot pushes the receipt and the transaction simultaneously, so the QBO file is the complete audit trail.
For outsourced bookkeepers: The QBO file is self-contained — you don't need to maintain a separate receipt archive and match filenames to transaction IDs. Everything is attached at the transaction level.
For general expense workflows: The attached receipt is available for instant review when a question comes up about a specific transaction. No digging through email.
What types of documents attach:
- Gmail receipt images (JPG, PNG extracted from email body)
- PDF receipts and invoices from email attachments
- Scanned documents uploaded via the ExpenseBot mobile app or email forward
If a receipt row had no attached image or PDF (rare, usually text-only email receipts), the transaction is still created in QBO — the attachment field will be empty for those rows.
