Workflow

How It Works

A straightforward portal-first expense flow for employees and finance teams.

1

Grant Portal Access

Assign the Portal Expense User group and make sure the portal user is linked to an employee record before using the expense pages.

2

Create Expense Drafts

Employees create new expenses from the portal with product, amount, payment mode, taxes, vendor details, and receipt attachments.

3

Submit and Track

Draft expenses can be edited, updated, and submitted from the portal while finance users track portal-created expenses from dedicated backend menus.

Step-by-Step
