Travel Budget & Advance Settlement

Keep a business trip's budget, advance and final expenditure together. This application is designed to explain the difference between funds provided before travel and the costs substantiated when the employee returns.

Best suited to

Businesses budgeting and settling employee travel expenses.

What you can manage

• Record the travel request and its business context.
• Prepare the planned expense budget for the trip.
• Track advances provided to the travelling employee.
• Record actual expenditure supported by the travel documents.
• Calculate the balance remaining at trip settlement.

A practical workflow

Establish the trip budget and record the advance before departure. Review actual expenses after the trip, compare them with the funded amount and prepare a closing balance for reimbursement or return of unused funds.

Why this workflow matters

Employee expense decisions need to be understandable to both the claimant and the business. Keeping the claim, evidence and applicable policy inputs connected gives the reviewer a clear basis for approving an amount or requesting clarification. It also provides context when the eventual reimbursement differs from the original request.

Working with your records

Check the supporting receipt, business purpose and applicable company policy before accepting an expense treatment. Review any allocation or employee balance against the relevant source records. Reimbursements and other payments are completed through the business's existing payment process; the software supports the preparation and reconciliation of the expense information.
