Customisation
Date format in Smart Receipts
Pick the date format that reads naturally to you or your accountant. It is used across expenses, reports, and exports, so a CSV opens with dates already in the order your spreadsheet expects.
How it works
Applies everywhere
The format you choose is used for the expense list, expense detail, reports, and the date column in PDF and CSV exports.
Day, month, or year first
Options include MM/dd/yyyy, dd/MM/yyyy, dd-MM-yyyy, dd.MM.yyyy, yyyy-MM-dd, yyyy/MM/dd, a Japanese-style year month day format, and a written month such as 21 September 2026.
Scanning is unaffected
The scanner reads whatever date is printed on the receipt. The setting only controls how dates are displayed and exported.
Spreadsheet friendly
Choose yyyy-MM-dd if you import CSV exports into accounting software, since it sorts and parses without ambiguity.
How to change it
- Open Settings, then Account Setup.
- Tap Date Format.
- Pick a format from the list. The change is applied as soon as you tap it.
- Tap Save on Account Setup.
Where it applies
- Dates in the expense list and on each expense.
- Period labels in reports.
- The Date column in PDF exports and in CSV files.
Good to know
Tip: If you send exports to someone in another country, match their convention rather than yours. An accountant in the US expects month first, one in Europe expects day first.
Existing expenses are shown in the new format immediately. Nothing is re-entered or changed underneath.
