No Receipt Requirement for Expense Categories with a Flat-Rate Reimbursement

In Atlatos, expense types with fixed lump-sum amounts can be configured. This can be used, for example, for holiday allowances, separation allowances, or other company-specific lump-sum reimbursements.

Previous behavior

If a company had generally enabled a receipt requirement, a digital receipt was also required for expense types with a predefined lump-sum amount. However, lump-sum reimbursements are generally not based on an individual expense receipt. (until August 2026)

New behavior

As soon as a lump-sum amount is activated for an expense type, the receipt requirement is automatically waived for that expense type.

The company-wide receipt requirement remains unchanged for all other expense types.

This allows companies, for example, to define:

• A digital receipt is required for regular expenses.
• No receipt is required for expenses reimbursed using a predefined lump-sum amount.

This makes it possible to process lump-sum reimbursements in travel expense reports without unnecessary receipt requirements.
