FAQ
Should every expense require approval?
Not always. Low-risk expenses can use simpler rules, but high-value, unusual, project-related, branch-level, or policy-exception expenses should be controlled.
Who owns expense policy?
Finance usually owns posting and control rules. HR and operations may own employee communication, practical policy definitions, and reimbursement timing.
What should we prepare before an Expenses demo?
Prepare ten recent expenses: approved claim, rejected claim, missing receipt, project expense, petty cash, branch expense, travel, fuel, policy exception, and late-after-cutoff item.
How does Expenses connect with Accounting?
Approved expenses can support posting readiness, reimbursement review, payables, category reporting, and month-end close control.
What should managers measure first?
Track incomplete claim rate, approval delay, rejected claims by reason, missing receipts, reimbursement delay, and late expenses after cutoff.
