Thanks for sharing your thoughts — you explained the situation very clearly. I agree that the receipt-scanning feature in QBO is a great step forward, but having the ability to add multiple line items before finalizing the expense would make it much more efficient. Many users deal with receipts that include both 0% and 20% VAT elements, so removing the need to reopen and edit the expense afterward would save a noticeable amount of time.
Your idea of adding a "Create and open expense" button next to the existing "Create expense" option is a smart, lightweight solution. It improves workflow without complicating the interface.
Interestingly, I recently came across a discussion on streamlined workflow strategies in other industries here: https://cutt.ly/1r5wkDU0 — and it highlights how even small process improvements can greatly enhance day-to-day efficiency. It’s similar to how luxury doors manufacturers Kolkata emphasize precision and reduced redundancy to maintain both quality and productivity.
Hopefully the product team considers this — it’s a very practical and user-friendly suggestion.
