Users naturally expect a QR scan to fill merchant, items, VAT, date, and total. With eKasa receipts, the result depends on the type of data stored in that particular QR code.
A QR code containing a UID
A normal online eKasa receipt may store only its unique receipt identifier in the QR code. A scanner can read it reliably, but the identifier alone does not reveal merchant, items, VAT, or total.
Completing those details requires verification through the relevant service, recognition of the printed receipt, or manual review.
Offline eKasa QR
In the offline format, the QR may contain the seller verification code, register code, date and time, sequence number, and total. These values can be read directly without OCR.
Even this format generally does not replace every receipt line. Merchant name, individual items, or a complete VAT breakdown may remain only in the printed section.
A practical phone workflow
The fastest approach is to try the live QR scanner first. If the camera cannot detect it, the user can take a closer receipt photo without glare and with the complete code in frame.
QR recognition can run directly on the device. If the code contains only a UID, the application should clearly leave the remaining fields for review instead of pretending that queued OCR will automatically supply everything.
FAQ
Can every eKasa QR provide the total?
No. The offline format may contain the total directly, while an online QR may contain only a UID intended for receipt verification.
Does QR scanning replace accounting review?
No. Scanned data speeds up draft creation, but amount, date, supplier, VAT, and business purpose should remain reviewable.
Is what an ekasa receipt qr contains and when ocr is needed legal or accounting advice?
No. OnlineOffice provides working tools and materials. Important outputs should be reviewed against the specific situation.
