Workflow Steps

Step 1 - Create Expense Report

Employee creates a new report for a specific period or trip and adds individual expense items, attaching digital receipts for each one.

Step 2 - Submit for Approval

Once complete, the employee submits the report, which is automatically sent to their manager with a summary of the total amount and any policy exceptions.

Step 3 - Manager Review & Approval

The manager reviews the entire report online and can approve, reject, or comment on specific line items.

Step 4 - Finance Payout & GL Coding

The approved report is processed by the finance department for payment, and the expenses are automatically coded to the correct general ledger accounts.

It allows employees to easily compile multiple expenses into a single, consolidated report. Automation handles the routing for approval, significantly speeding up the process and allowing for quicker reimbursement and more timely financial closing at the end of each month.
