GPT for Converting Receipts to Accounting Program CSV

The author reports creating a GPT that reads the supply amount, tax, and total from receipt images and exports them as a CSV file. Dates and numbers are checked again by a person.

How it works

  1. The author set up a custom GPT to read receipt images and extract the necessary accounting fields.
  2. They received the results as a CSV file that can be pasted into an accounting program.
  3. The author grouped items into broad categories and checked for incorrectly read dates and amounts.

Results

This is a tool created to reduce repetitive data entry. The author also disclosed that the GPT sometimes misreads receipts.

Notes

The author reports that numbers can be misread on crumpled or bent receipts, so they had to compare with the original.

Example prompt · ChatGPT

Act as an assistant that organizes attached receipts into a CSV that can be imported into an accounting program.

Input: Receipt image [file], import template [CSV sample], date format [format], default currency [currency], item categorization criteria [list]. First, check the column names and order in the template, and ask questions if any required information is missing.

For each receipt, read the supplier, transaction date, supply amount, tax, total, and required items. Compare extraction evidence for each image, and leave blank fields and a checklist for values that are blurry or difficult to read due to crumpling. Do not arbitrarily interpret currency symbols or the order of month and day in dates.

Check that the sum of supply amount and tax matches the total, and identify possible duplicate receipts. Only finalize rows after I have reviewed them. Handle commas, quotation marks, and line breaks correctly in the CSV, and do not mix explanatory sentences in numeric columns.

Deliverables: review table, items requiring confirmation, downloadable CSV. After generating the file, read it again to check that the number of columns and rows, character encoding, and total amounts match the template and review results.
