Employee Reimbursements

Reimbursements are employee expenses that flow into AP for payment. They use the same Bills-style UI (Inbox / Approving / Scheduled / Paid / Discarded) but live on a separate page so finance can manage them independently.

Navigate via Spend management → Reimbursements.

How Reimbursements Get Here

Employees submit expenses via the Expenses page (under Personal → Expenses in the sidebar). Once submitted, an expense becomes a reimbursement document that appears in the Reimbursements → Inbox for finance review.

The flow: Expense (employee)Reimbursement (finance)Paid.

Reimbursement Tabs

Same tab structure as Bills:

Tab Contains
Inbox Newly submitted reimbursements
Approving Reimbursements in approval
Scheduled Approved reimbursements awaiting / in payment
Paid Fully paid reimbursements
Discarded Declined reimbursements

Reviewing a Reimbursement

Open a reimbursement to see:

  • Submitting employee
  • Entity, currency, amount
  • Expense lines (description, GL account, tax, receipt attachments)
  • Approval log

The action buttons mirror Bills: Approve or Reject. Rejecting opens the Add comment dialog where you can note the reason; the reimbursement moves to the Discarded tab.

Payment

Approved reimbursements move into the Scheduled tab and are paid through the same payment-batch flow as vendor bills (see Scheduling payments). The payment is sent to the employee's reimbursement bank account.
