## Announcement: Release of Split Bill Receipt Automatic Issuance Scheme
"I want to expense my portion of the party bill, but only the organizer has the receipt." Since the implementation of the invoice system in October 2023, this problem has become serious in accounting departments.
Canvi Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo; CEO: Yuji Okabayashi) has released the industry's first "Split Bill Receipt Automatic Issuance Scheme" (patent pending) as a core feature of its expense-sharing app, "KanjiPay" (https://kanjipay.com), starting May 25, 2026 (Sat).
### Challenges Addressed: Expense Reimbursement Issues Exacerbated by the Invoice System
In dining with multiple people, usually only one receipt is issued. The following challenges have become apparent in accounting:
- Challenge 1: The invoice registration number (T + 13 digits) is mandatory, making handwritten notes unusable.
- Challenge 2: Both the "store name (trade name)" and "operating company name (legal entity name)" are required in principle, increasing the effort to verify company names.
- Challenge 3: It is practically difficult to ask stores to reissue receipts for the number of participants.
- Challenge 4: Sharing receipt photos via LINE/email is often rejected by expense systems as they do not specify individual burdens.
### Solution: Mechanism of the "Split Bill Receipt Automatic Issuance Scheme"
"KanjiPay" solves these issues through the following steps:
- Step 1: Capture the original receipt via OCR. Leveraging Google Cloud Document AI, it automatically extracts store names, operating companies, registration numbers, and amounts.
- Step 2: Proportional calculation for each participant.
- Step 3: Automatically generate individual PDFs meeting invoice requirements for each participant.
- Step 4: Recipients download with a single tap and can attach directly to expense systems.
### Technical Features
This scheme is realized through patented proprietary technology, including single-transaction processing for proportional calculation and PDF generation, tracking of post-edit changes in burden amounts, automatic supplementation of invoice registration numbers, and compliance with the Electronic Bookkeeping Act.
### Schedule
- Release Date: May 25, 2026 (Sat)
- Beta Period: May 25, 2026 to July 31, 2026 (scheduled) — Free of charge.
- Full Version: Details of pricing to be announced after August 2026.
