Ok, I admit I'm a little lazy, and that I have three months of receipts to
enter. But hey, who has not been there? I was thinking, it would be great
if there was a really fast way to enter recipts into gnuCash (this is a very
boring task). Then it hit me - QR codes. Here is how my idea would work:
1. You go to the store an purchase something. You get a receipt, and the
receipt has a QR code at the bottom that contains the store name and
location, the date of purchase, the amount, and mayment method.
2. Accumulate a few weeks of receipts (like most of us do).
3. Start gnuCash, then grap a QR code reader of some sort. Scan the code,
and gnuCash pops up a screen to enter the account(s), hit Eneter, next receipt.
Cool - right?
Of course we would need the cooperation of our friends from Intuit,
retailers, and perhaps some sort of standards org. Oh, and the gnuCash
developers/community.
Any thoughts?
Dave,
