If you don’t have a receipt for a card purchase, you may be able to submit a lost-receipt affidavit in the PEX mobile app. The affidavit becomes an attachment on the transaction and acts as the receipt.

Submit in the PEX mobile app

The I don’t have a receipt link appears only when:
  • Your admin has enabled Lost-receipt affidavit in Business settings → Workflows → Workflow settings on the web
  • The transaction isn’t Approved or Rejected
  • The transaction has no receipts or attachments
  • No upload is in progress
For setup details, see Lost-receipt affidavit settings.

If the transaction is over the maximum

If your admin set a maximum amount and the purchase is above it, the app shows Lost receipt affidavit unavailable and asks you to upload a receipt instead. The app suggests asking the merchant for a duplicate receipt, checking your email for a digital copy or contacting your admin if neither works. Tap Upload receipt to open the receipt picker or camera. $0 means no limit and the form opens.
