Receipt review on a phone

What was asked for

Receipts are usually checked on a phone, at the end of a shopping trip. There, the choice between an existing item, a new item and skipping the line wrapped onto two lines, and the line kept saying it needed a pick after one had been made. Every note under a line took a line of its own, so a single line of a receipt could fill most of the screen.

What changed

Completing a shopping trip now takes the whole screen on a phone, the way editing does elsewhere in the app, so a receipt's lines get the phone's width. The three choices take the room their words need and fit on one line on the narrowest phones.

The label beside each line says where the line stands: picked, new, skipped, still needing a pick, or needing an answer about what one case holds. That last one also makes the line an invoice is waiting on easy to find.

What a line says about its numbers, such as the printed quantity beside a correction or where its unit came from, now shares one line. A receipt line is about a fifth shorter on a phone.

What stays the same

Nothing about what a line records has changed, and every note is still there. On a larger screen the review looks as it did, with the printed line under each description now using the full width of the row.
