+### Create expense from receipt
+
+You can offer users to create expense by uploading a receipt. This feature relies on [OpenAI GPT-4 with Vision](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/vision).
+
+To enable the feature:
+
+- You must enable expense documents feature as well (see section above). That might change in the future, but for now we need to store images to make receipt scanning work.
+- Subscribe to OpenAI API and get access to GPT 4 with Vision (you might need to buy credits in advance).
+- Update your environment variables with appropriate values:
+
+```.env
+NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_RECEIPT_EXTRACT=true
+OPENAI_API_KEY=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
+```
