Setup Expense Types

Setup Expense Types functionality allows addition of multiple categories and sub categories in expense types. These expense types are available to the employees when raising expense request.

Each organization has day-to-day business expenses. These company expenses are categorized into different types such as travel, entertainment, team, project, food, lodging, and more. Each category of expense can be sub categorized. For example, the category travel can be sub categorized into air travel, train travel, and road travel.

Each expense item can be customized to associate within limits on the basis of employment types and designations. For example, you can limit air travel to senior level employees, including managers and the leadership. In addition, other customization such as claiming expenses in multiple currencies can also be done.

To setup expense types, you need to:

1. Log in as HR Manager/ HR Admin.
2. On the Dashboards homepage, click Product configurations and go to Self and Manager Services. Click Configure expenses as shown in Figure 1.
