The Help menu displays all training videos separated by categories as well as release notes and Quick Start Guides.

3 Toolbar The toolbar provides specific actions based on what screen you are on. For example, when inside an expense report a submit icon will appear so the report can be submitted.

Hover the mouse over the tool to see a tool tip.

5 Role Sections Based on the role that you have been assigned you will see specific actions based on that role. In the screen shot the user has been assigned both the Submitter and Approver role so both sections are displayed.

6 Mobile Application icon Click the appropriate badge for your smartphone to access the ExpensAble mobile application.

7 Role based Action links Each role section contains links to common functions for fast access. Historical information is also displayed in the appropriate row for the action.

8 Corporate Card This section displays action links and information specific to your Corporate Card. Pending transactions represent card transactions that have not been included in an expense report yet. [Express] Not available in ExpensAble Express.

9 Electronic Bin (E-Bin) The E-Bin contains all mobile transactions, receipts and receipts received via email (if setup) that have not been included in expense reports. The E-Bin section is displayed only when a user has pending receipts or expenses.

The Expense Report All expenses are submitted via an expense report. The report is the container or screen that contains all

expenses to be submitted for approval. Cash expenses can be created directly inside an expense report

while Corporate Card transactions and expenses created via the mobile application need to be moved or

imported into the expense report.

The pull-down lists, driving rates, currency and other information are structured to meet your company’s

requirements. In some cases, you can override the given options and type in your own data; in other cases,

ExpensAble Corporate will require you to use one of the existing selections.

Your company’s travel policy has been entered into ExpensAble Corporate. If you enter a travel expense that

violates one of your company’s policies, ExpensAble Corporate will notify you with a warning that tells you

which expense is in violation of policy. Some warnings may be “passive” and will allow you to continue

without making changes, others will require that you make a change before proceeding. These later rules

are called “Blockers”. Limited policies are available in ExpensAble Express.

The process to create and submit expenses is:

Once the report is submitted an email notification is sent to each approver throughout the approval workflow.

Approvers approve (or reject) reports via the web-site or mobile application. Approvals are processed by

the Accounting Reviewer only.

After final approval (or any rejection along the way) the submitter receives an email alerting them to the

approval (or rejection) of the report.

Create a New Expense Report In order to submit expenses a new expense report must be created. Once the blank report is created, expenses are added to it and receipts attached. If all expenses fall within the company’s accepted policy, the report can be submitted. The steps below show how to create a new, blank expense report.

don’t have to worry about keeping the receipt or tracking the expense for entry later.

Split Expense Splitting an expense is the same as itemizing a bill. A hotel bill is a good example. The bill is a single amount

but within that amount are charges for meals, room tax, parking, internet, etc. Each split item is likely a

different expense type than the original expense (e.g. Hotel bill contains Dinner expense). Most companies

require that hotel bills be split so that those individual charges are itemized and processed into the correct

accounts with the accounting system. Only Expense Type and Reimbursable designations are available

for splits in ExpensAble Express.

Follow these steps to split an expense

Hands-On Screens/prompts

1. Locate the expense to be

itemized and click on its

expense type to select it

(1).

You can see details about the selected expense in

this area to be sure you

have the right expense

(lodging in this case) (2).

Click the Split button (3).

5. The itemized expense is

displayed at the top (1)

and the total of original

expense is decremented by split expense (2).

Repeat the steps above until all individual

expenses are itemized.

Note: To remove a split or itemized expense, click the red x icon in line

with the expense. If you delete the original expense (top row), all split

expenses will also be deleted. If original was a Corporate Card expense, it

will not delete but go back to the credit card screen.

6. Click Finish

The expense will now

contain the word (split)

after the original expense

type.

Allocate Expenses (optional feature) Some expenses arrive as a single amount but it is an expense that is shared among multiple departments,

customers, projects or events. Multiple allocations may be required to properly share that expense.

Allocation can be entered by amount or by percentage and there is no limit to the number of allocations

allowed. Allocation is different than Split. Split is itemizing a bill. Each split item could be a different

expense type where an allocation is just dividing the total amount among different groups responsible. The

expense type will never change among each allocation. [Express] Allocate expenses is not available as an

optional feature in ExpensAble Express.

Allocations can be by amount or percent and there is no limit to the number of allocations allowed.

Follow these steps to allocate an expense:

Attach Receipt All expenses must have receipts attached prior to report submission. Capturing receipts can be done using

the mobile application, email receipts feature, faxing or scanning paper receipts converting them to digital

files.

To learn more about using email receipts, see the Settings section later in this document. You can also view

the User Settings video located in the training drop-down in the overview Home screen:

Attach Mobile or Email Receipt If you used the mobile application to capture the receipt or validated your email from the Settings link and

sent receipts via email to [email protected], you can easily attach those receipts to an expense. This

works especially well with Corporate card expenses as they provide the data, you provide the receipt.

Follow these steps to attach a receipt:

1. Click on the blue

paperclip located in line

Attach Scanned Receipt or Saved Email Attachment Receipt If you scanned a paper receipt you can easily attach it to an expense. If you received an email with a receipt

attachment and saved the attachment to your computer/network you can attach those receipts to an

expense as well. This works especially well with Corporate card expenses as they provide the data, you

provide the receipt.

Follow these steps to attach a receipt:

approver will be the departmental manager. If approved, it will continue to be forwarded to the

appropriate approvers for eventual reimbursement. Accounting Review is the final approval step and once

approved here, reimbursement will be next. Once final approval is met, you will receive an e-mail

Some Hints to Getting Started ExpensAble Corporate is designed to be intuitive and provide functionality using alternative technologies

such as email and smart phones. Here are some useful tips to get you started:

• Most screens contain a drop-down near the top containing training videos specific to the screen you

are on. These 30-second to three-minute videos help you learn more about using ExpensAble. You

can also click the Help menu to see all generic training videos.

• The Help menu also provides access to user guides and release notes. User guides are downloadable

and displayed based on your assigned roles in ExpensAble Corporate. Click on the Release Notes

title to see the contents. These notes are written for end-users complete with step by step

instructions when necessary. [Express] User Guides and Release Notes are not available in

ExpensAble Express.

• Once you have logged in and changed your password, download the mobile application if you have

an iPhone or Android smartphone. Capturing expenses or receipts at the point of expenditure is a

huge time saver and stress reliever. Expenses can be fully edited Approvers can approve expenses

while on the road right from the mobile app. If you are using the Spend Card you can check

balances in real time, request funds and approve funds. There are hyperlink badges/icons right on

the Overview screen to assist you in locating the mobile application. [Express] Spend Card is not

available in ExpensAble Express.

• Click on Settings and validate your email address. Validating your email address (up to 3) allows

you send receipts from that email directly into the service so they can be attached to expenses. If a

vendor emails your car rental receipt, for example, you don’t have to print it and scan it or save the

attachment, just forward that email to [email protected] (once you validate your email

addresses) and the receipt will be delivered to the E-Bin.

• ExpensAble Corporate maximizes the use of SmartLists. These lists operate much like popular

search engines. Just start typing in the field and matches will be displayed as you type:

• For many of the pull-down lists, entering the first letter of the item will take you to the items that

start with this letter—another way to minimize your typing.

• If you enter driving expenses our distance expense integrates the Google location API in the

segment fields. Just type a business name, point of interest or address in the From/To fields and let

Google find it and plot it for you. There are no limits to the number of segments/destinations that

can be entered for a single day. A map can be attached as the receipt and trips can be saved as

templates for re-use later.

Training Videos/Help We recommend viewing the training videos that reside in each screen and via the Help menu. The videos

displayed in the Related Training drop-down on the screens only contain training that is applicable to the

screen you are on. To see all the videos click the Help menu. Each video is between 30 seconds and 3

minutes long and should provide good insight and value.

Best Practice Workflows using Mobile Application and Smartphones The mobile app is a big time saver and it lowers stress. Stress is lowered because you can use the mobile

app to capture a photo of receipts right at the point of expenditure, send it to the service then forget about

that receipt. It saves time because it is very fast and efficient to snap a receipt photo vs. holding the paper

receipt and then scanning it later to convert it from paper to digital. Additionally, if the expense was paid

for using cash, the entire expense can be completed all in one move.

Using Mobile Application to Capture Receipt for Corporate Card Expenses If you pay for your expenses using a corporate credit card, those transactions are likely to be fed into

ExpensAble Corporate.

Most card transactions take 2-3 days to process before they arrive in your profile. This causes a delay in

matching the receipt to the expense. Here’s what we recommend:

When the expense is paid using the corporate card, capture the receipt using our mobile application on your smartphone.

1. Open the ExpensAble Corporate mobile app and tap New Receipt, snap the photo and tap Send. A confirmation will appear once the receipt is received.

2. Once the credit card transaction appears in ExpensAble Corporate:

expense details from one screen. When done, the entire expense is complete!

Corporate application.

Settings The Settings screen allows you to edit personal information, manage passwords and security questions as

well as the means to setup email addresses for sending receipts from email into the solution.

Settings - Email Receipts This feature allows submitters to use their work and/or personal email address to send receipts into their

E-Bin. The E-Bin is just a screen within ExpensAble Corporate that holds all remote expenses and receipts.

Remote expenses and receipts can be created via the mobile application or by emailing receipts. Examples

of receipts that could be emailed are a digital receipt received from a merchant (e.g. hotel, car rental,

iTunes) or a photo receipt taken using your smart phone.

For example, a submitter takes a taxi. They use their smart phone to take a photo of a taxi receipt. Right

from the smart phone they email the receipt to [email protected]. Assuming the email was previously

validated, the photo receipt will be received in the E-Bin. The submitter can then attach that photo receipt

to the actual taxi expense if a credit card was used. Or if they used cash they would simply edit the fields

displayed for the photo in the E-Bin and create a new expense. In this case the photo, which is already

attached, becomes the receipt for the expense.

Another example would be the traveler who asks the rental car company to email them the receipt for a

rental. The receipt could then be forwarded to [email protected] and acted on in the same ways

mentioned above; either as a pure receipt validating an expense or as a new expense itself. In this case, they

would likely import the credit card transaction and attach this receipt to that transaction.

Validating Email Address In order for receipts to be received by ExpensAble Corporate, the email address(es) sending the receipt

needs to be validated and verified. This validation process is very simple and takes seconds to complete. Up

to three email addresses can be validated so both business and personal emails can be used to send

receipts. Follow the below steps to validate an email address.

Once validated and receipts are sent, refer to the earlier section labeled “Attach Mobile or Email Receipt”.
