Automated approval of travel expense reports

The Atlatos Expense Engine supports the automated approval of travel expense reports.
Approval (in the first instance) of certain reports is carried out automatically based on predefined criteria.

What does automated approval mean? For selected types of reports, manual review by the accounting department is no longer necessary.
Instead, the system automatically approves them. Approval is carried out as follows:

•  efficient
• compliant with regulations
• transparent
• with clear logging

How does automated approval work? Automatic approval can take place within the first approval stage, e.g., during the accounting check. The system checks specified criteria and automatically approves the invoice if these criteria are met.

Typical application examples: Automated approval of a statement is possible if, for example, a statement only contains prepaid services, travel expenses, and meal allowances.

1. Automated approval if the statement does not include a manual receipt with a reimbursement to the employee.
2. Automated approval if the statement does not include hospitality expenses with a reimbursement to the employee.
3. Automated approval if the statement does not include gifts with a reimbursement to the employee.
