Overview

Expense report processing is a tedious cycle: employees upload receipts, finance manually categorizes each expense, checks policy compliance, routes for approval, and enters into accounting. This workflow automates every step: employees submit receipts via email or a submission form, GPT-4o Vision reads each receipt and categorizes it (travel, meals, software, office supplies, client entertainment), checks it against your expense policy (per-diem limits, requires-receipt thresholds, prohibited categories), codes it to the correct GL account, and routes the report to the appropriate approver based on amount and department. Policy-compliant reports under a threshold are auto-approved. Exceptions go to manager.
