What is the Expense Capture Feature in Sage 50 Cloud?
Expense Capture is one important feature in Sage 50 Cloud. Very often, we tend to lose/ misplace expense receipts and once they are lost, they can’t be claimed later. With this feature in Sage 50 Cloud, we can just take a snap of a receipt with our smart-phone, include a brief note regarding the said expense and migrate this into the Sage 50 Cloud through MS Office 365, already integrated with the program.
