I created an InfoPath form and allows user to attach their 'receipt' with
the xml data, then submit to a workflow. The tricky problem is, letting
attachment data flow with InfoPath xml is apparently not performance
economic. What comes to my mind is only store attached filenames and put the
actual file into file system or SharePoint. However, I am a little confused
on the implementation. Would someone please give a general idea? Thanks.

Can you clarify what you mean by "receipt" in this context?

Would a digital signature do the same thing?

Sorry, I didn't make question clear. Just like an expense workflow, receipt
means a scanned copy of a physical document.
