What happens when a fuel receipt is submitted through Mandate?

The receipt becomes an operational record. Mandate captures the submitter, evidence and relevant context such as vehicle details, makes missing information visible, and keeps the history available for finance review and asset accountability.

Why this question matters

Buyers want a concrete picture of the workflow, not abstract software claims. Fuel receipts are a clear way to show how Mandate behaves in daily operations.

The practical flow

A staff member uploads the receipt and provides the operational details the business requires. Mandate keeps that submission visible as owned work. If information is missing, the exception is part of the record. Finance can review structured input. Asset history can reflect the activity. Accounting treatment can still occur in Xero when appropriate.

Practical scenario

After a site run, a driver submits the fuel receipt, selects the ute and enters the odometer. The record is available for review the same day. Nobody has to reconstruct the trip from a phone photo next week.

How it works

  1. Upload the receipt

    Evidence is captured close to the spend.

  2. Add operational context

    Vehicle, ownership and related details sit with the submission.

  3. Surface exceptions

    Missing information remains visible and owned.

  4. Review for finance

    Accounts receive structured, accountable input.

  5. Preserve history

    Finance and asset records retain the trail.

  6. Account in your ledger

    Xero or similar remains the accounting destination.
