Invoice Capture Tips


  • Camera access permission should appear automatically but if not, or there is an issue, go to SmartBar Mobile's app info > permissions > allow camera/media access.  Check that the app is updated to the latest version via the app store used. 
  • If taking a picture, please ensure that the invoice is on a flat surface, not obstructed by anything (ie.hand, other papers, etc) and that there is enough light for a clear, nonblurry picture.
  • A white box will appear in the capture field to help make sure the image is visible. Take the picture once the box turns, and remains, green.
  • If the image taken does not meet these requirements, an error message will appear indicating that the image can't be recognized.
 NOTE: If your invoice has multiple pages, each page must be clearly captured. Single images with multiple pages will not allow the software to scan the data accurately. To achieve this, capture the first page. Once the order is created, use the Approve + Add More button to capture the next page until all pages are captured.

If the wrong invoice is uploaded, contact support immediately as the wrong products could be added to the inventory. 

  • After your invoice image is captured, the Preview Invoice Details screen will appear 
    • “Approve” will save the invoice
    • “Delete” will not save and another image can be re-uploaded instead
      mobile invoice approve
    • You will then receive a confirmation notification
  • Click "View Invoice Image" to view and download the image of the invoice that was attached
  • You can come back any time to view a captured invoice
  • Orders will be marked as Received once invoice matching is completed. You do not need to manually mark the invoice as received within SmartOrders
  • NOTE: Received status will not appear instantly after uploading an invoice and may take up to one business day to match
  • Invoice images cannot be deleted at this time
  • Click this link to learn about each status
