Expense & Travel
How to automate your travel expenses and save time?
How can I note expenses in the app?
Traverse allow you to track work-related expenses like travels, hotel stays, food, or purchase of office supplies.
The app lets you upload invoices and send them to your supervisors, who then forward them to the company's accountant to reimburse the expenses.
Can you use the photo option for expenses and travel?
You can take a photo of the invoice with your mobile phone and add is as an attachement to the expense form. This will be the fastest way to create an expense entry, when AI feature will be introduced and prefill the expense form or expense group with information from the invoice/s.
Make sure the text is readable, and always keep your invoice papers.
Does the app automatically count expenses?
In the free version of Traverse, you can look at the Analytics dashboard, where the sum of expenses is calculated for each week, month or year in the graph Expenses in time. In the same graph, there will be also sums of expenses for up to five chosen expense categories for the same time intervals.
In the pie chart below, there are sections with percents of the total expenses for each category. For each section there is tooltip accesible, which show the name, percentage and amount of money for chosen expense category. The pie chart works now only for total sum of reported expenses, there will be also the selection of time interval later.
In the paid version of Traverse, expenses are sent to your supervisor in reports. You fill out the report, upload invoices, add any other information you'd like, and submit it.
You can register your expenses in any currency. Reports in different currencies are divided separately.
All expenses in the reports are sorted by type—for example, travel, food, or hotel stay.
Does the employee book the travel, or can someone else do it?
It depends on your company policies. The employer usually books and pays for significant expenses like plane tickets or hotel stays. In this case, no expense report needs to be created by the employee.
What if an expense or travel was canceled?
You can create a report even when the business trip was canceled where you can report items like purchased plane tickets. After that, you should be compensated.
What if I have a suspicion of a fake expense?
In case of suspicion, the employer should seek the original invoice and contact the service provider.
What if someone uses wrong information?
If you submitted an incomplete report and it wasn't already approved by your supervisor, you may edit it.
You can't edit the report after it has been approved and the reimbursement request has been sent.
You can create a new report including the missing information.
If you accidentally submitted an extra expense, you can inform your supervisor, who can edit even approved reports.
What if the expense is higher than expected?
The supervisor should decide if the information corresponds to the expense before approving it.
All honest expenses must be reimbursed.
What information about travelling can I note?
You can upload photos, pdf files, or add a note, the cost of the travel, distance, etc.
When will the expenses be paid?
After your supervisor authorizes the report, a new reimbursement request is automatically sent to the company's accounting department.
The payout procedure depends on your company's policies.
