Turn a Folder of Receipts Into a Clean Expense Ledger
បំប្លែង Folder វិក្កយបត្រ ទៅជាបញ្ជីចំណាយដ៏មានសណ្តាប់ធ្នាប់
Summary
A blogger drops receipt photos into a folder and lets Claude Code read, categorize, and record them into an accounting ledger.
Any points the AI is unsure about are flagged for the owner to review, ensuring the numbers are accurate and eliminating hours of manual typing.
Why this fits Cambodia
Small shops in Cambodia use both dollars and riel, and receipts are often scattered — a clear ledger helps them know their true profit and makes tax preparation easier.

In the folder inbox/ there are photos and PDFs of receipts. For each one, extract date, shop name, total, currency (USD or KHR), and pick a category from: stock, delivery, rent, ads, utilities, other. Add a row to expenses.csv, move the file to done/, and list any receipt you were unsure about so I can check it.
