台灣的電子發票是記帳的一大優勢：發票裡本來就有每個品項、數量與金額。這篇說明手機條碼怎麼申請、發票怎麼掃進 App，以及怎麼讓中獎機率更高。
Taiwan's e-invoice system is a gift to anyone tracking spending: every item, quantity and price is already in the invoice. Here's how to set up a carrier barcode, get invoices into the app, and improve your odds in the prize draw.
悠遊卡、iCash、金融卡、商店的會員卡，這些卡片統稱為「載具」。發票電子化之後，用載具消費就可以直接索取電子發票，發票會存在財政部的雲端，不必拿紙本。
問題是載具太多種了，一個人身上常常好幾張。所以財政部推了一個共通性載具：手機條碼。申請一次，之後走進任何一家開立電子發票的店家，都用同一組條碼索取發票，所有發票集中在同一個地方管理。
申請是在財政部那邊辦的，不是在 App 裡。到財政部電子發票整合服務平臺（搜尋這個名字就找得到），依序完成三件事：
辦好之後，把條碼填進 App 的「設定手機條碼」，結帳時出示條碼即可歸戶。
財政部平台的畫面與流程偶爾會調整，實際步驟請以財政部的公告為準。
| 方式 | 適合什麼時候 | 怎麼做 |
|---|---|---|
| 掃描 QR Code | 手上有紙本電子發票 | 在 App 選「掃描發票」，對準發票上的 QR Code |
| 匯入消費明細 CSV | 發票已經存進手機條碼的雲端 | 到財政部平台下載每月消費明細 CSV，再從 App 匯入 |
兩種方式都會自動辨識店家與品項並歸類。匯入 CSV 時，已經存在的發票號碼會自動略過，所以同一份檔案匯兩次也不會變成重複的帳。
到量販店一次買了香蕉、咖啡、一本書、一把雨傘，只會拿到一張發票。記成一筆「賣場 1,280 元」很快，但這四樣東西分屬「食」「育」「住」，混在一起，報表就看不出你的錢到底花在哪。
掃描之後，這張發票會被拆成多筆品項，每一筆各自對應到自己的分類。這也是當初做這個功能的原因：帶著小孩去大賣場一次買二十樣東西的人，最沒有時間一項一項敲。
可以。掃描後會先出現「發票明細確認」畫面，每一筆品項都能當場挑分類再儲存；存好之後點進那筆帳一樣能改。
老實說，電子發票的自動分類比語音記帳難很多。店家自己打的品項名稱經常很奇怪，縮寫、內部代碼、看不出是什麼的簡寫都有，我們只能盡力猜。掃完花兩秒看一眼確認，比事後翻報表找錯輕鬆得多。
電子發票上通常有兩個 QR Code：左邊那個放發票號碼、日期與總金額，右邊那個放品項明細。品項多的時候，右邊那個一定要掃到，App 會顯示「已掃描 X／Y 項」提醒你還沒掃完。
如果右邊的 QR Code 印得太密或糊掉，怎麼掃都進不去，可以先把發票號碼與總金額存下來，再用「新增品項」把需要的明細自己補上。匯入消費明細 CSV 幫不上這個忙：重複的發票號碼會被略過，不會回頭補上已經存在那筆發票的品項。
關鍵不在掃得比較勤，而在拿哪一種發票。用載具（手機條碼）存的雲端發票，除了統一發票的一般獎項之外，財政部另外設有雲端發票專屬獎。獎項與金額每期由財政部公布，請以公告為準。
所以想提高機會，做三件事就好：
App 這邊：掃描過的發票會自動對獎並通知你，也可以直接看中獎紀錄與累計中獎金額。想確保不漏接，記帳時把發票號碼填進去就好。

In Taiwan, cards like EasyCard, iCash, bank cards and shop loyalty cards are collectively called carriers. Since invoices went electronic, paying with a carrier lets you claim the invoice straight to the Ministry of Finance cloud instead of taking a paper slip.
The problem is that most people carry several. So the Ministry introduced a universal carrier: the mobile barcode. Apply once, then show the same barcode at any shop that issues e-invoices, and every invoice ends up in one place.
You apply on the Ministry's side, not in the app. Go to the Ministry of Finance E-Invoice Platform (searching that name will find it) and do three things:
Once that's done, enter the barcode under "carrier barcode" in the app's settings, and show it when you pay.
The Ministry occasionally changes its platform and its steps; treat their published instructions as authoritative.
| Method | When to use it | How |
|---|---|---|
| Scan the QR code | You have the paper e-invoice in hand | Choose "scan invoice" in the app and point at the QR code |
| Import the summary CSV | Invoices are already in your carrier's cloud | Download the monthly consumption CSV from the Ministry's platform, then import it in the app |
Both recognise the store and the line items and file them for you. On import, invoice numbers you already have are skipped, so importing the same file twice won't create duplicates.
A single supermarket run gives you bananas, coffee, a book and an umbrella on one invoice. Logging it as one "supermarket 1,280" is fast, but those four belong to food, education and household categories. Merged into one line, your reports can't tell you where the money went.
Scan it and the invoice is split into separate items, each filed under its own category. That's exactly why the feature exists: the person buying twenty things with a child in tow has the least time to type them in one by one.
Yes. After scanning you get a review screen where you can set the category on each item before saving, and you can change it later by opening the entry.
Being honest: auto-categorising invoice items is much harder than auto-categorising speech. Shops write their own item names, and they are full of abbreviations, internal codes and strings nobody can decode, so we can only make a good guess. Two seconds glancing at the review screen beats hunting for the mistake in a report a month later.
An e-invoice usually carries two QR codes: the left one holds the invoice number, date and total; the right one holds the line items. When there are many items you have to catch the right-hand code too, and the app will show "scanned X of Y items" while any are missing.
If the right-hand code is printed too densely or is smudged and simply won't read, save the invoice with its number and total, then add the line items you care about by hand. Importing the monthly CSV won't do it for you: an invoice number you already have is skipped, so the import will not go back and complete an entry that already exists.
The trick isn't scanning more diligently, it's which kind of invoice you take. Cloud invoices stored on a carrier are eligible for cloud-invoice-only prizes on top of the regular uniform-invoice draw. The Ministry publishes the prize tiers and amounts each period, so check their announcement for current details.
Three habits, then:
On the app side, scanned invoices are checked against the draw automatically and you're notified, and you can see your winning records and total winnings. To be sure nothing is missed, record the invoice number on the entry.
For everything that doesn't come with an invoice, read the voice entry guide. For categories and tags, read the guide to keeping a ledger. Anything else, see the FAQ or message us on our Facebook page.
