This article explains how new users can configure and manage their expense reimbursements within Light. The process includes setting up your profile with personal and bank details, and then uploading expense receipts for processing.
My Expenses Setup
Accessing My Expenses:
Click on the "My Expenses" option to enter the setup screen specifically designed for expense reimbursements.
Profile Configuration:
To fully configure your account for reimbursements, you'll need to supply:
Your phone number.
Your bank information, including the bank country, sort code, and account number.
Uploading and Processing Expenses
Uploading Receipts:
Once your profile is set up, you can easily upload expenses by:
Dragging and dropping the receipt file into the application.
Using the upload button to select a receipt file from your computer.
Receipt Parsing:
After uploading, Light processes the receipt, automatically extracting details such as:

Amounts and the expected reimbursement amount
Submission for Approval:
When you’re satisfied with the parsed details, click “Submit for Approval.” The expense is then forwarded to your finance admin team for processing, ultimately leading to reimbursement.
