Processing Expense Claims

By using MYOB Advanced, employees of your company can easily file their claims for reimbursement of expenses, which may include expenditures for travel, accommodations, and freight charges. With MYOB Advanced, expense claims can be prepared, approved, and processed in accordance with the process of claim submission adopted by your company.

The functionality of expense claims and expense receipts is available only if the Expense Management feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Each expense claim is based on expense receipts that an employee enters into the system. A claim can include any number of receipts, each having its own settings. An employee can enter expense receipts on the fly, submit them for approval, and then, at a convenient time (for instance, the end of the month), claim approved receipts in bulk to generate the corresponding expense claims. As soon as a new claim is generated, the system automatically routes it to the authorized person for approval (and adjustment, if needed). Once the claim is approved, it can be released. When an expense claim is released, the system automatically generates a bill to reimburse the expenses to the employee. If the employee incurred the expenses while working on a project for a customer, the system also prepares the records for billing the customer.
