Over the past few years, I’ve been to plenty of sales events and trade shows.\u00a0 Meetings with vendors and reps.\u00a0 Dinners with co-workers and clients.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve learned to organize my receipts on the flight home and image them using my handy iPhone app.\u00a0 This makes it easy to upload them once my WIFI reconnects and then they are populated in my queue for building my dreaded expense report.<\/p>\n
Then it happens.\u00a0 I have a gap in my travels not documented by these scraps of carbon-copied, BPA-filled paper.\u00a0 Humm.\u00a0 I made it to the restaurant in a taxi.\u00a0 But how did I make it back to the hotel?\u00a0 I check my credit card statement and find the charge.\u00a0 $34.00 to “TAXI World” that somehow I do not have a receipt for.\u00a0 Unfortunately, my expense report cannot be submitted without a receipt.\u00a0 I call our accounting department and they are no help.\u00a0 Sorry – you’ll need to contact the taxi company and get a replacement receipt.\u00a0 Well that is impossible!\u00a0 The credit card charge doesn’t list a contact number and how am I ever going to call “Big Al” – the baritone beast that provided me a lift back to my hotel that night?\u00a0 He is a thousand miles away and lord knows he isn’t going to answer his flip-phone and FAX me a copy of my receipt during his downtime.\u00a0 No way.<\/p>\n
For this purpose – you need to create a replacement taxi receipt.\u00a0 Report submitted. Report approved.\u00a0 Cash in my account.\u00a0 Credit card bill happily paid.\u00a0 Everyone is happy.<\/p>\n
