An expense claim is a collection of receipts from personal spending that need to be reimbursed by the business.  Each department in your organization can add an employee to record everyone's expenses, then submit the expense claim to be reviewed and approved by Finance.

Admin needs to create an employee as a supplier to enable the employee to capture Expense Claims.  Once the Supplier is created and an employee linked to the Supplier, you will be able to see the Expense document under the Add New - Document Type section.

  • Draft: At creation, the Expense Claim is in Draft which will allow editing of the form. By default, you will not be able to change the status of the form as this field is uneditable. However, the status will change once the Expense Claim has been submitted.

  • Awaiting Approval: When the User clicks Submit, this actions the start of the workflow, and the status changes to Awaiting Approval. This acts as the interim status until the claim is approved or declined.

  • Declined: When Finance declines the Expense Claim with reason and sends it back to the User.

  • Approved: When Finance approves the Expense Claim.

  1. Expense Claims <this page: let's repurpose this page - we want to mention the 2 different approaches, and clarify which versions of chase they're available in. Then also summarise each one with its own table of contents... ie. we want to make it clear which topics relate to which  specific feature/version)>


    <structure for old Expense Claims - I'm thinking we have 2 options (need to give some thought and maybe get some input):

    1 - rename topics with 6.310 in title

    2 - add text referring to 6.310 in the very beginning of the topic, so that it displays clearly in search results

    We also need a short info in each of these topics, mentioning that this feature is replaced by Expense Reports from 6.311 onwards>


    Adding an Expense Claim (Chase 6.310)
    Approving or Declining an Expense Claim (Chase 6.310)
    Capturing a Supplier Invoice from an Expense Claim (Chase 6.310)

    <also confirm which other topics are related to the old expense claims - eg. expense claim work type/expense claim workflow/link employee to supplier etc...>


    <new - will need an info mentioning that you need at least version 6.311 for this feature>
